Strength:
--Link has been able to use various types of swords - incuding heavy ones (ex. The Biggoron's Sword) - with great skill and agility
--With his bare hands, Link is able to lift medium sized rocks
--With the Silver Gauntlets, Link is able to life massive boulders (estimated at least 1 ton), and toss them quite far
--With the Golden Gauntlets, Link is able to lift enormous pillars of stone (estimated at least 7-10 tons), and toss them quite far
--Link is consistently carrying around heavy equipment, and using it, therefore adding base strength that normal people most likely would not have

--While locked-on to an opponent, Link is able to jump from side-to-side with great speed, lunge forward with great speed, and also backflip
--His Farore's Wind ability lets him teleport anywhere where there is already a set teleport location. The distance is not limited by any means
--While using Epona, he travels at a fast horse's pace. Not to mention he can use his bow & arrows while riding her.
Durability/Endurance:
--Link's endurance is based on his heart containers, which he has a massive supply of (at least 20)
--A blessing Link aquires from a Great Fairy allows damage taken from all enemies to be cut in half, meaning double health (40+ hearts with regular deductions)

--Link has been sliced, impaled, crushed, diced, and slammed on various accounts, and has almost always come out with minimal damage taken
--With Nayru's Love, Link takes no damage whatsoever (with the exception of high falls). This applies to any and all attacks
--Link literally fights with full ability (not lacking speed or strength) until he is completely K.O'd or killed
Intellect:
--When it comes to complex, puzzle like situations, Link is a genius
--He has solved countless dungeons, temples, mazes etc. and come out on top each time (with some help from Navi)
--With the help of Navi, Link is able to distinguish an enemy's strengths and weaknesses before and during the battle
--Link has aquired a great deal of knowledge from his years of adventures and travelling (or so it is believed)

--He applies various sword-based techniques during battle

Techniques/Powers/Gear:
--The Master Sword: Link's most used sword. Deals out a great deal of damage, and can be used with sharp agility.
--The Biggoron's Sword: A very large blade that deals out a massive amount of damage (twice that of the Master Sword). Link is able to use this blade with the same speed and agility as others, but it requires two hands to use.
--Magic: With this, Link is open to a wide variety of attacks and techniques. With a Great Fairy's blessing, his magic meter is doubled in size, granting double magic. Runs out at a slow rate.
--The Hylian Shield: Link's basic and most used shield. Can block almost all attacks.
--The Mirror Shield: A stronger shield with the ability to send back magic-based attacks.
--Bow & Arrows: Link's standard long-distance attack. Travels at very high speeds; quite hard to detect.
--Fire Arrows: Arrows with the ability to set objects on fire. Prolongued burning causes additional damage. Twice as powerful as normal arrows. Requires little magic.
--Ice Arrows: Arrows with the ability to freeze objects. Prolongued freezing causes additional damage. Twice as powerful as normal arrows. Requires little magic.
--Light Arrows: Arrows that are especially powerful against evil/dark enemies. Still extremely effective against normal enemies. Four times as powerful as normal arrows. Requires more, but still very little magic.
--Sword Spin: Link charges up his sword with a small amount of magic, and releases it by spinning several times. In the process, a burst of power with a large radius is released from the sword, surrounding Link. Ideal for taking out multiple enemies, and is quite powerful.
--Ocarina: A musical instrument that allows Link to do various tasks. The main use of this device is to travel back in time.
--Bombs: Standard explosives with a radius of about 10 feet.
--Lens of Truth: A magnifying glass-shaped lens with the ability to show objects and things that are not visible to the naked eye.
--Hookshot: A chain and hook with a long-range firing ability. Allows Link to grapple to many surfaces and propel himself where desired.
--Longshot: An extension to the Hookshot, making it twice as long.
--Din's Fire: A massive ball of fire that surrounds Link. Has a radius of about 40 feet in all directions when released. Requires some magic to use. Ideal for taking out multiple enemies, and is one of his most powerful attacks.
--Nayru's Love: A crystal/diamond shaped barrier around Link that protects him from any and all attacks. With the barrier on, Link takes no damage under any circumstances (with the exception of high falls). Requires some magic to use.
--Farore's Wind: A teleportation ability that allows Link to travel anywhere where there is a pre-set teleportation area. Requires some magic to use.
