You have a lot of things you could improve on. Like instead of just running up to them and ->bing or ftilting them, do a short hop double fair or a short hop nair fast fall. And for edgegaurding, try to meet them higher and fair them.

(my advice will seem kinda stream of consciousness but bear with it) First, realize that your sword outranges link's so get in medium range so u can hit him but he cant hit you. From this range the projectiles can be countered easier and you can score a hit from the counterslash. To approach link, short hop then fair like the others said or just airdodge. Use the dancing blade occasionally to raise his damage. If he pulls out a bomb, expect him to throw it. They blow up if he doesn't so he won't hold on long. You can slice the bomb but blocking it is usually better. Don't dair unless you are trying to spike him offstage. Block his arrows and if you block and he holds the arrow, double jump in as close as you can then fair or counter. Work on your short hops. Always know where that boomerang is. Yes, avoid it and go in for an attack but be prepared to jump over or dodge it on the return trip. (btw, he throws it above you on purpose because he expects you to jump in and attack him).

Practice mastering short hop fairs and spacing to hit at the swords tip.

Use short hops more in your approaches. Also, don't forget to tech when you get sent flying. Don't be afraid to press the attack. Also use dancing blade to hit with all 4 hits not only the 3rd and or 4th. You can use grabs more often to set up fairs or dancing blades

-Dash A is not the answer. Fair is.
-also, the counters are just a tad too common to be effective
-dont approach by side-B'ing to cover distance, it will be punished
-short hop
-good timing on the sidestepping/ the drawback is, u do it more often than not. that link will eventually figure it out and toss out a boomerang, wait for u to step, and then run in and chainlink u (which we marths should never get grabbed by, btw lol)
-SHdair is a relatively ineffective way to edgeguard, sure u will probably once in every 10 games get a meteor'd kill out of it, but there are better ways to gimp and kill. refer to other threads in the forum for that

gl against ur friend

Don't EVER use Marth's Dash A. Most of the Time you'll get punish for it. Short hop and use his FAir more often.
