Wall Merging

Becoming a drawing is an ability that Link has in. Becoming a drawing allows Link to move within walls. When Link is in this two-dimensional form, he is unaffected by enemies, hazards, and gravity, and can slip around otherwise impassable corners and even in between iron bars, making it largely a puzzle-solving mechanic. However, when Link is in this form, the gauge on the left side of the screen slowly drains, acting as a timer before Link must return to his normal form. Link's appearance as a "wall drawing" somewhat resembles ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. It has been stated that this new ability will have some connection with the Dark World, but how has not yet been revealed.
