Probably Supes. He lives in a modern era, so he'll have access to new information. Recipes, and whatnot. Hahaha.
Anyways, here's what I can tell about both.
Superman:
+ Unquestionable physical superiority
+ Generally smarter
+ Powers come naturally
+ Requires no weapons
+ Can draw power from undeletable source
- Possesses well-known, fatally debilitative weaknesses
- Apprehensive towards conflict; reluctant to cause damage
- No defenses against magic
Link:
+ Several lifetimes of experience
+ Capable of analyzing opponents to find their weaknesses
+ Support items significantly boost capabilities
+ Fewer personal inhibitions; has no qualms about doing harm
+ Can manipulate the flow of time and potentially reality
- Far less natural physical contingency
- Greatly reliant on inventory
- More accustomed to taking on evil enemies
Does this help?

So what's stopping link from just using the cane of byrna?

But I'm not sure if the cane can actually defend Link from someone that strong, honestly. It doesn't have the feats to suggest it can. mmm The cape would be better, since intangibility.
I'm unfamiliar with the cane, but this fight is in character, which also means they aren't going to kill each other. You are right. It is fun to think about.

Technically, he gets three full triforces.The cane of byrna protects link from all damage as well as harming anything that gets close.
That said, if he has the full triforce, **** the cane.

Yes, because it's Omni-Link.

So... reflexes do nothing.
[speculation]
With the completed triforce and a bag full of kryptonite on his person, Superman shouldn't be able to kill Link. Link turns him into a horse and rides him home. Or something.
This is based on the ToP making bodies less than necessary, and making the owner functionally immortal without special means on hand to put them down or kill them. Extrapolating this to what the completed triforce could do for Link points to punches and kicks possibly destroying his body but not killing him or even incapacitating him.

This is just speculative extrapolation, but based on the fire arrow technicality in OoT, aren't Link's arrows technically faster than Superman? Just curious.
Even with the whole triforce, unless Link stops time (which he should be able to do) Supes will be much, much faster than him. He just 'shouldn't' be able to do any permanent damage to Link because he has no magical means at his disposal to overcome the immortality it should give him.
Again, this is mostly guesswork. And to be clear, without the Triforce Supes would still take this with ease.

Link doesn't need the triforce to stop time, and I think his magical defenses could at least handle a few superpunches.
Without it, I doubt his defensive items will be worth much, Link's never taken a punch that can crack a planet before, that's the sort of feat we'd need for those to be useful against Supes. It's better to rely on things like the Magic Cape's intangibility.
Without the triforce Supes is simply too fast and too powerful, imho.
