The gimmick is pretty major. It's there for a couple of reasons:
-Exploration, obviously, though the hammer can be used similarly
-Novelty. Like Koopaul said, it's what is best remembered from the respective game.
-Demonstration/presentation. It is the thing that best shows the enviroment is 3D, which in turn makes use of the stereoscopic 3D of the device. It also does something ALttP1 could not possibly do.
-Irony. Probably just me, but turning 2D for the sake of showing off the 3D is pretty ironic.
