I feel like analyzing them more so let's go.

Gonna just read through the canon stuff to see how Link measures up.

"I couldn't help but admire his Goron-like strength. While I was distracted, a monster almost got the jump on me. He stopped it." Daruk describes him as having "Goron-like strength"

"He said sometimes when he focuses, it feels like time slows down." So his bullet time stuff is canon.

"Link grabbed a pot lid from the ground and deflected the blast. He nailed the thing in its weak spot and saved the day. " Already covered this but it's worth repeating that he not only deflected a guardian beam with a pot lid, but he did so just right to hit it in its weak point for massive damage

" One of them was a Hylian child of only about four years of age." ... "One thing that surely sets him apart is his swordsmanship, which I hear is exceptional. He has even bested adults." Link has bested adults in swordsmanship since he was four years old according to Mipha's Diary.

Now for the champion blessings he has.
Urbosa's Fury allows him to call lightning down on his enemies within a pretty good range. It can be used 3 times before going on a 12 minute cooldown, 4 minutes if he has the boosted version. As Aloy is given a full stock of potions, this would include Resist Shock potions, which grants 75% shock damage resistance for 90 seconds. However, Urbosa's Fury is still an exceedingly powerful move capable of even stunning Calamity Ganon, so I believe that Aloy should still try to stay outside of its range.

Daruk's Protection completely negates all damage Link takes 3 times before going on an 18 (or 6) minute cooldown, but he has to consciously be using it. It can also deflect some attacks back. Aloy would need to catch Link off guard to get past it, as if he is aware of her and her location, I believe he is capable of defending himself even without it.

Finally, (as Mipha's Grace is banned), Revali's Gale propels Link into the air along with creating an updraft. It can be used three times before going on a 6 (or 2) minute cooldown. While this is a nice boost to Link's mobility, it would also give away his position to Aloy and make him an easy target. Overall I think this is the least important of the blessings to this battle.

Now for Link's runes.

1. lol amiibo rune
2. Cryonis could help, maybe, if they fight in a watery area? I guess?
3. Remote bombs could possibly be used to lure Aloy into a trap. On their own they don't do much damage.
4. Magnesis could possibly work on Aloy's Shield Weaver armor and should definitely work on her Charger as it is a machine. Using it highlights metallic objects so it would give away the location of the charger.
5. The Camera. Now originally I was going to include this with amiibo in "lol" but thinking about it more, it is linked to the Shiekah Sensor+. If he manages to get a picture of Aloy or her charger, he can track them with the Sensor. If the fight isn't over after the first encounter, this would give Link a huge advantage in finding her again.
6. The Master Cycle Zero is a motorcycle. As this is likely going to be a stealth match, it probably won't come up much.
7. Stasis has been discussed at length. It probably wouldn't last too long against Aloy, but it would still remove her from her charger and leave her open to attacks.

Most of the weapons aren't anything worth talking about. Everyone knows the Master Sword is strong.
However, the description for the Savage Lynel Bow says it "has tremendous stopping power and can pierce thick armor as easily as thin paper." Aloy has potions that can reduce fire, ice, and electric damage for 90 seconds, but really Link should be using Bomb arrows for maximum damage anyway.
