The two have different fighting styles and sword types, but I think Zorro is the better swordsman. Robin Hood is no slouch but I think when it comes down to it Zorro would come out on top.

While the sword Robin Hood would have used is open to debate, give the time and place it was probably a variant of Oakeshott.

Zorro is known to use a rapier.

I believe that would be a heavier blade hack and slash sword fighting style against a lighter thrusting fighting style.

In this match-up I personally think I would favor Zorro when both were 100%.  However, if Zorro were to actually get tagged by the slashing blade it may greatly reduce is advantage.

Rapier against a hacking style sword happened often. Rapier is meant for one thing and one thing only one on one duels. Which is why I favor zorro. Generally Oakeshott style swords were usually paired with a shield, which Robin Hood isn't known to have.
