Or the game programmers simply didn't care, plus there is also Hab's points to consider. It's not awfully important at all and I'm sure you will able to sleep at night without thinking about it. It would not really be of great essence if Link couldn't hold up the Hylian shield in this game. And the idea of Link pumping up-- is a consideration, but you won't even need to go that far when you simply think-- there was no need for the Deku Shield.

Okay, long story short and to for my coherency's sake-- it's insigniciant.
