The visualstudio2022buildtools package by default only installs the minimal Build Tools, without any additional components/workloads (just like the interactive installer does if you do not select anything). I'm guessing link.exe is part of the C++ tools, so you probably need the Desktop development with C++ workload (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools). You can easily install that workload via Chocolatey using the visualstudio2022-workload-vctools package.
