I guess the key difference is the directionality, as explained here: https://github.com/orientechnologies/orientdb/wiki/Concepts#wiki-inverse-relationships
The link permits to access only from one record to the other. The edge permits to access both from one record to the other both the way back. It would be interesting evaluating the existence of a DirectedGraph implementation, where Edge and Link are the same thing, and only out relations can be traversed.
