Judging by what I have heard, Sylvanas would take this. She bested the Scourge archers with no effort and all, and Scourge archers has hit running targets from nigh miles away. On record, Sylvanas is the greatest archer in Warcraft.
In the scans provided by Phantom Miria, Sylvanas is far away enough to be merely a dot in the distance, which indicate a distance of at least a mile. From this distance, Sylvanas could fire four arrows at virtually the same time and each one of them hit several slim, moving tentacles without fault. She was not even motivated, she just happened to come by and decided to help bring down the beast.
Beyond that, Sylvanas was able to take aim on Arthas while he rode Invincible and fire across the Undead forces and, had Arthas not destroyed the arrow, would have hit him right between the eyes. Right between the eyes is however a feat she has provided us in Warcraft: Ghostlands, where she took aim and brought down a gargoyle in a single shot, the arrow piercing its stone head right between the eyes.
After turned undead, Sylvanas became an even better archer and she hit Arthas on their next encounter. In their previous one, Arthas reacted to the arrow and split it in half with his blade. This time, he lacked the capability:
"It impaled his left shoulder, piercing through his armor as if it were as flimsy as parchment, adding a fresh type of agony. He was confused for an instant- Sylvanas was a master archer. She couldn't possibly miss a fatal shot at this distance" - RotLK

Sylvanas is the leader of the undead faction in WoW 😛 Crazy good shot, as shown in those screens that Miria posted.She's an undead Elf who can shoot very accurately very quickly. Also, she's hot.
I'm all for Link though. (Everyone knew this.)
Twilight Princess:
-pegs an inch thick pole at ridiculous distance.
-wins a shoot out with piles of targets
-shoosts enemies from far enough away to be invisible
-shoosts many a rope
Wind Waker:
-Shoosts a Wind god inside his own personal cyclone which can throw you and your boat across the ocean if you come close, through the walls of wind.
-OoT:
-While on horseback, scores perfect on the gerudo archery track to win the huge quiver.
Most of those feat apply to a lot of archers, even in real life. Sylvanas is on an inhuman league, being able to hit the tentacles presented in the scans.
When it comes to hitting the Wind God, it seems to me like it was strength at shot that hit him and not skill. If the arrows pierced the wind that throw boats around, it is not so much skills as strength. Furthermore, an arrow take less volume than a boat or an elf, move faster and is designed to pierce air. With a good enough arrow and high enough strength, you can pierce all from walls of wind to walls of stone and hit the target behind.
In perspective, it is more likely by logic that an arrow can hit the Wind God than a boat or a person is able to physically reach it.
Seem to me like Link has perfect aim on targets standing still. Sylvanas so far has not shot anything standing still, so we have no way of knowing how good she is at that. Which, to me, makes the winner of this obvious. Even if the range between Link and the pole(s) is farther than Sylvanas and the tentacles, her feat count for more, since she hit with four arrows pretty much at the same time, and her targets were moving while roughly as thick as a common wooden pole.
