I carry a quick link but i also carry the four or five links of chain that you take out when you fit a new chain.
Space blankets are a great idea to carry. In-fact I'm think that stuffing those into the fork steerer would be a good use of the space.

I also do this but take two quick links so replacing a section of chain is easy. Also run all my bikes in the same chains to make this easier. In my big bag I'm pretty sure I still have 9 and 10 speed links as well.
On local rides I carry:
Pump
Tube
Levers x2
Crank Bros multi-17 tool
wolf tooth chain pliers and chain links
Zip ties
£5 note that can double as a tyre boot
A tubeless tyre sealant thing prefitted with an anchovie (protected with a pen cap).
All carried in a Zefal muppet bag under the saddle.
For longer rides I would shove in a second tube, artificial (kevlar) spoke, and brake pads.
Talking of zip ties, have we mentioned George Berwick and his broken frame yet? http://www.thedrumup.co.uk/cycling-riders/george-berwick-500km-on-a-broken-frame/
Top bodge that's a proper break too
