Waynebrizzle Skyward Sword because (spoilers) he beat the s**t out of Demise. All the other Links have trouble just beating a shadow of his former self. In fact, all Links after him are just shadows of HIM; he is the granddaddy of all Links. He also took out a whole ******** horde of minions just to get to Zelda and beat the s**t out of a demon king. He is also the only one with some signs of a personality. Ehhh, there's some truth to that, but I think you're exaggerating a bit. Sure, he beats Demise, whom is ultimate evil which is passed down to each Ganon/Vaati/etc that Link fights, but that doesn't necessarily mean that any other incarnation of them is any less of a menace or difficult or even evil. And correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Skyward Sword allude to the goddess blessing a hero directly? Isn't Zelda the goddess reincarnate? SS Link could be #2 in the line.
He's definitely not the only one with signs of personality, either. Windwaker Link has a ton, too. I'd concede SS Zelda is the most interesting, aside from maybe OoT's Shiek/Zelda split-up and Windwaker's surprise of Tetra being Zelda; SS's Zelda still has the most personality (though again, I'd say Tetra has a bunch too) and a human trait-mischievousness.
That aside, Zelda II Link because he has to go through so much bullshit, only to find out his strongest foe is himself. /joke answer

While Ganondorf is totally weaker than Demise normally (Demise's power was sealed in the Master Sword), he probably does make up for it by having the Triforce of Power, so you're right about that.
You're right that Zelda is a reincarnation of the Goddess, but Skyward Sword's Link is, as far as the game is concerned, the first Link, and the reason all the different Links show up throughout the games isn't because of the Goddess, but because of the curse Demise puts on all of them after he's beaten. I don't remember as much about the legend at the beginning, but as I remember, it was the Goddess and the different races that fought Demise; there was no hero. Even if there was, though, it wasn't the first Link, because that chain started because of Demise's curse. Could be wrong, though.
Yeah, I guess I was mostly trying to say he was the most genuine feeling/unique. All the other Links had expressions, sure, but it seemed to be mostly generic reactions or wacky faces in response to something like being shot out of a cannon. That was funny, sure, but it's not like it provided deep insight into his personality. I'd agree that Tetra was also a great character, but I was just comparing the Links. I also thought Linebeck and Groose were great.

I like that they don't actually give Link a personality, it makes it impossible to hate the character rationally.
I hate playing games with terrible main characters, especially the whiny ones or when they have a voice
