@Moo: Besides being good with a bow what other weapons did he learn to usefully use right away? Hammer? Ball&Chain? Neither take much skill to use.
I think you just gave me a nose bleed. Rotational weapons are some of the hardest to use. Besides which point, I want you to consider the speed of learning it takes to peg an inch thick pole at a half mile within ten minutes of bow ownership. haermm
OoT Link's sword skills are well respected by the Gerudo, he beats a physical clone of himself, and he proves his experience is worth quite a lot by utterly schooling TP Link, who was trained. If he can master a bow in ten minutes, a few solid years of adventuring with a sword?
The fact he actively shows this skill makes the argument he lacks it all the more painful.
