have you ever played a 3D zelda game? Or a 2D one for that matter? Having items you can equip to whatever button of a few buttons you like is part of it... so it is required to have the view.. as... you could have a bow and a hookshot, and it could be on either button and looking at link won't help you.
Though, it looks strange in these screenies.. methinks they aren't exactly what you expect they are.
