I'll elaborate if you want.

Experience isn't quantifiable and I don't know why Deathbattle or anyone else used it as a stat- nobody can put a number to it in the slightest and is pure speculation unless it directly applies to a combatant.

Speed- Link tops out at moving the speed of an arrow even with his boots. He isn't even supersonic. Even someone who parries arrows has, repeatedly, proven to be too difficult for Link to face 1v1 and win. Pretty much his sole claim to any speed is based on Onox- which is quite messed up as Onox travels as a lightning-bolt thing- that does not mean he fights at that speed anymore than someone flying a spaceship means they fight at the speed the ship flies.

Strength- Naruto blocked an attack that split the moon in half, nuff said, Link's got nothing on that- not even close. Durability also falls into this as before he blocked the attack Naruto was hit with it- he survived and didn't even look hurt.

Better Fighter- Link is a reactive fighter, as a strategist that means he waits to see what his enemy does before preparing an appropriate counter- that means anyone who focuses on blitzing or ending a fight quickly would be better than Link in terms of fighting- so long as they can pull it off.

Smarter- Link also- often- relies on being told by a fairy or NPC how to use his items truly effectively. Not always- but often. Also- how is he "smarter" than Naruto? Attacking the weak point of an enemy does not require incredible smarts. Naruto has made superior plans for fighting using his powers- like throwing clones at his enemy while burrowing through the ground to strike from below. Link has never shown such planning in combat.

Equipment Superiority (Because variety itself is useless- I can have 20 different melee weapons and one dude with a gun will still shoot me dead) is something I admitted Link had since Naruto has no real equipment. But equipment on its own isn't good for anything if you can't back it up. A unbreakable shield is good- but only so useful if someone can attack from multiple angles so you can't defend against them all.
