A bunch of top tier people. :p I'd really suggest playing against those characters a lot before coming to a tournament, otherwise you are in for a HUGE surprise. I think does alright versus those characters, but you need a lot of time getting used to fighting them.

Link's hardest one's are mostly the quicker characters and more technical characters.

He's good against slower or more balanced guys

If your gonna stay Link straight up, learn all the characters because its very possible to play just Link

But playing Link over n over n over might get a little stale

it's possible to main link.
fast characters make for tough matchups, you need to really learn the ins and outs of dealing with them

you also need to get used to the highly counterintuitive process of doing nothing to block projectiles.

It is not possible to main Link only and expect to go far. There have been ZERO first place finishes with Link in any major reported tournament. He just has way too many uphill battles against the winningest characters thus far. In any real respectable competition, Link has to luck out in too many bad matchups to take the top. Play some tough tourneys before you say yes. If the so called "top Links" (commonly referred to due to their videos and whatnot) have not broken the semi-finals yet, its not a reasonable expectation for anyone to get there anytime soon. Not EVERYONE can be Aniki.
