Research direction

Investigate the implementation of the Link component in next view transitions (likely in src/link.tsx). Compare how it handles the legacyBehavior prop versus the standard Next.js Link. The issue suggests that when legacyBehavior is passed, the transition doesn't work, so examine the logic that wraps the child component and triggers the view transition. Consider whether the library forwards all props correctly or if legacyBehavior requires special handling like using a render prop or cloning the child differently.
