Between spirit energy and magic? There is no distinction because there is no magic. It's a person's inner spiritual energy/power that allows them to do everything in that universe. From Flash Step to Kido to powering your zanpakuto Shikai or Bankai release to making people pass out from the enormous nature of your power level.
It's essentially the same thing as Ki from Dragonball/Z and Spirit Energy from Yu-Yu-Hakusho.
So the Master Sword reacting to the spells is an iffy thing, since they aren't magic. They're directed spiritual energy altered to have different effects.

The Master Sword should be able to protect Link against most of Gin's Kido...
But then he doesn't need Kido to waste Link.

Well if all else fails, Gin's Bankai could possibly make it past all Link's defenses. You can't block against dust.

You keep saying this, explain it to me, what is Gin's secret weapon which he holds over Link, disallowing Link from beating him once out of ten times?
The secret weapon is that no-one except you buys Link being fast enough to contend with him, having a chance of blocking his sword or engaging him at all without the protection of magic armor.
Been forever since I've since I've read Bleach, having stopped somewhere around Fullbring, but I'm pretty sure everything is SpiritEnergy in that 'verse. The swords, the magic, Gin's body, etc. are all made if the same stuff.
In any case, I do believe Link can hang with Gin physically for at least a little while. It's the speed that's the problem. Unfortunately for Link, Ganondorf pretty clearly outspeeds him, and in the Ganon Gets Serious portion of the final battle battle Link is unable to touch him at all, even given Zelda's assistance. It was 2 on 1 and Ganondorf still danced around them until they managed a pretty clever trick to make him stop loldodging. So I think the the strength/durability gap is not insurmountable, but the speed gap is a bit big.
...That is, unless the fact that Wind Waker Link and Phantom Hourglass Link are the same person means anything. In THAT case, the little guy has access to a Time Stop. So, there's that.

Yeah, Ganondorf is definitely faster, we get a cutscene of him beating Link up that shows it as well, but given Ganondorf's record I'm not too put off by that. Link and Zelda did still win. Link while certainly not the quicker fighter between the two can't be too so far behind him as to have been totally helpless, imho, which means he should be fine speed wise when it comes to Gin. The problem is we're low on 'concrete' numbers for WW Link.

WW Link gets all his stuff while Gin gets his Zanpakuto. Who wins?

Hm. Well we know the sword can handle spirits and ghosts and also absorb souls, so should be fine, imho. Think it'll be able to deal break up pieces of Gin's weapon?
Well, a zanpakuto is basically Ghirahim, so maybe. I recall some weapons have been broken, so it isn't impossible. Damage probably won't be permanent, though.
