Some spoilers for Twilight Princess are included here.
This doesn't have much proof, but anyways, I'll tell the theory.
There being 5 Moon Kids suggests to me that the 4 that are wearing the Boss Remains were actually some lingering amount of spirit of the bosses.
Link carrying the Boss Remains is a really demented thing, unless you look at them as transformation masks, then it makes perfect sense, since Link wouldn't want some innocent stumbling on them and putting them on, becoming cursed in the process.
I believe that the wearers of the Boss Masks are the 4 Giants.
Since they were likely given them by Majora's Mask, and Majora's Mask is the one who gives Link the Fierce Deity's Mask, and he calls it evil, it can be assumed that the spirit of Majora's Mask was trying to curse Link as a last ditch effort after literally seeing that he not only beat the Bosses, but also soothed their spirits (the Moon Children wearing the Boss Masks), thus fearing Link would do the same to Majora's Mask himself.
But wouldn't this fall apart when you realize the Giants are akin to lesser deity's for Termina, and even they couldn't resist the evil influence of the spirits of the Boss Masks? Not necessarily.
Link at the end credits of OoT has the mark of the Triforce of Courage, suggesting he has it despite the Sacred Realm not being unsealed. And when you realized TP Link pretty much auto gained it through being OoT/MM Link's descendant, it makes sense that it isn't a Zelda II scenario, but that Child Timeline OoT Link actually has the Triforce of Courage.
In TP, the ToC protected TP Link from the Twilight, but he was only partially protected, as his form was still changed. If MM Link has the ToC as it's unlikely he gave it back (for the aforementioned reason of TP Link inheriting it), then it would protect him from the evil Fierce Deity spirit inside the mask, thus allowing him to wear the mask without being corrupted.
Anyways, that's my theory.
