Try this. It should work.

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

$link_repository = $objectManager->create('Magento\Downloadable\Api\LinkRepositoryInterface');
$link_interface = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Downloadable\Api\Data\LinkInterface');
$link_interface->setTitle('first downloable product');
$link_interface->setPrice(9);
$link_interface->setNumberOFDownloads(10);
$link_interface->setIsShareable(1);
$link_interface->setLinkType('url');
$link_interface->setLinkUrl('http://www.example.com');
$link_interface->setSampleType('url');
$link_interface->setSampleUrl('http://example.com');
$link_interface->setIsUnlimited(0);
$link_interface->setSortOrder(0);
$link_repository->save('your_product_sku', $link_interface); 


// To add data under sample section:
$sample_repository = $objectManager->create('Magento\Downloadable\Api\SampleRepositoryInterface');
$sample_interface = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Downloadable\Api\Data\SampleInterface');
$sample_interface->setTitle('first downloable product');
$sample_interface->setSampleType('url');
$sample_interface->setSampleUrl('http://www.example.com/download/file.zip');
$sample_interface->setSortOrder(0);
$sample_repository->save('your_product_sku', $sample_interface);

Note: Do not use objectManager directly. Use dependency injection.
