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.

Link can travel between Hyrule and Lorule by going into special portal cracks while he is a drawing.
