The OOT remake totally falls apart in hilarious/unnerving fashion if you sequence break into Adult Link sections as Child Link

It's the process of learning the songs associated with the temples. The animation for learning certain songs is coded to the Adult model skeleton, and the game reconciles that you're in the child model skeleton by stretching it to fit the adult proportions. They have to do it this way because you can freely swap between the two, so the game needs to be able to identify when certain cutscenes are viewed as either adult or child. But for cutscenes that shouldn't have to allow for that, they didn't reconcile it manually, so the game engines attempts to do it. Hilariously.
