Finally, the Oseram Cannon. This bad boy does huge explosive damage and can take down pretty much anything. Unfortunately, it requires an exterior ammo source and Aloy can only barely hold the cannon, as evidence by her saying "Ugh! Heavy! All I can do to hold it up!". If Aloy happens to find out where Link is while camping near her Oseram Cannon, I suppose she could try and carpet bomb the area, but I doubt he would even be hit on the first shot and once he's aware of the threat, he would keep Daruk's Protection active and head toward her location. I don't think this one is as much of a surefire win as others seem to.

Next, she is wearing the Shield-weaver armor. This armor generates a shield that negates damage and recharges between hits. I believe the shield portion of her health would be depleted immediately by Urbosa's fury, especially with Link having attack boosts from his armor. Another thing to note is that this armor cannot be modified like other armor in the game.

Finally, Aloy's most important asset in this fight is her skill in tracking. She would most likely be the first one to find Link rather than the other way around, especially because her Focus improves her tracking capabilities.

As a full stock of potions is mentioned, her potions include fire, shock, freeze, and corruption resistance potions, as well as potions to restore her health. According to the wiki, the max potion pouch size is 12, but I don't remember if that means 12 potions total or 12 of each. Either way this battle is ignoring gameplay conveniences, so she would need to retrieve the potion and actually drink it in order to use it, which would give Link an opening.

Given the battlefield, I believe it is also important to look at the survival capabilities of both combatants. Link can climb pretty much anything in BotW, while Aloy requires handholds, which is confirmed in story by Sylens adding handholds to allow her to get into GAIA Prime. Link regularly catches food to eat while Aloy is more accustomed to hunting machines. However, she is still good at scavenging off of animals. Overall, I believe they are both suited to survive here for a while.

In conclusion, while Aloy is more likely to be the first one to find her opponent, I do not believe she would be capable of taking him out in one shot, and even that assumes Link has his guard down and is not using Daruk's Protection, or able to hear the arrow coming and activate it before it hits. I think Link has this.

Edit: I forgot to mention again that if the first encounter isn't the last one and Link manages to get a picture of Aloy or her Charger, he could use his Sheikah Sensor+ to locate her
