Lin touched the wall in two minutes 35.64 seconds, just 20 hundredths of a second ahead of Spain's Sarai Gascon. Britain's Amy Marren took bronze in 2:36.26.
Lin also won gold in the 50m freestyle S9 at the London 2012 Games.
"Never did I think I would win a medal here," the 22-year-old told the Paralympic News Service.
I just wanted to go fast and to pay back my coach. My coach and her husband have been training me for 10 years. We are like a family. For the last year we have had private training together, spending all our time together.
"She never pressured me, just helped me improve and encouraged me. I hope we are together all my life."
Lin lost her right hand in an accident at age four.
And Feng Panfeng won his third straight Paralympic table tennis singles class 3 title by defeating Germany's Thomas Schmidberger three sets to one.
The 26-year-old took the match 11-5, 7-11, 11-9, 11-8 in 27 minutes at Riocentro.
It was his fourth Paralympic gold medal, having won the same event at the Beijing 2008
and London 2012 Games in addition to the team class 3 title in London.
Feng's impairment is the result of the effects of polio.
