Isn't this true of all games in the Zelda series?
No. In Twilight Princess for Gamecube and Wii, Link would learn various sword techniques in certain spots in-game.

Once I got past the slow start, I quite liked it. But the first time I played it (rental, IIRC) I didn't care enough to get past that part. The second time I played it (bought, for Wii U) I didn't get any further. But the third time I finally decided it was time to get somewhere in that game, and I ended up playing it until I beat it, over a couple weeks. I'm still debating whether I care enough about Skyward Sword t…
