I haven't played Breath of the Wild and I'm not familiar with Cloud at all, so I don't know how differently this match would play out, but given the way you describe it, I think Link would win due to greater versatility, combat ability and a more extensive arsenal. Sure, Cloud has his fair share of weapons and tools and is a fearsome warrior on his own right, but Link is an expert at analyzing enemies in the heat of battle, not to mention that he can use his weapons and tools to keep Cloud distracted and get him to make a mistake. Also, since the Master Sword and the Hylian Shield are his best weapons, he can use them right from the beginning for a decisive strike.
