Mostly it's only noticeable in relation to its size in Ocarina and Twilight Princess, with Child Link having to grunt and flex and sweat a bit in order to heft the thing after pulling it from the pedastal.

The Wind Waker Link has no such issues, and the blade appears almost custom-fitted for someone his size.
