Let this be a(nother) lesson to publishers:
If you want to win on a Nintendo system, you have to make games for Nintendo players.

I mean this game is clearly designed for Zelda fans... So yeah. Switch owners also keep track of what is about to be launched on the eShop, and all.
Great game btw. I love it.

That is a dope looking Zelda-like, but some of the enemy designs are lifted directly from LttP, it's kinda weird.

It wasn't heard about on Steam because Steam has a huge visibility problem, it seems like the Switch in itself provides the visibility needed
On the topic of sales on Steam vs. Switch:
Steam has a game discovery issue for small indie titles like this. Switch has a proportionately small library compared to Steam, so it's much easier to find these smaller titles.

Switch owners feasting but they still hungry

It still has over 350 games as of now, so it's not like its easy to see all of the games out for it. Obviously that number is several orders of magnitude lower than on Steam, but it's not a small number in the grand scheme of things.

Not accurate. If you wait 40 years and then check steamspy it'll show that the PC version had long tail!!!11
So a lot of Steam users say there is nothing wrong with the glut of games appearing on Steam everyday and that the visibility issue for many indie developers is not a problem. But when it is announced that a Switch version sold more than Steam, despite having tens of millions more users, they are argue it's because the Switch's library is much smaller. So doesn't that prove that there's a visibility issue on Steam?
They are a small studio. First trailer of the game had <1k views for some time. These are great numbers for them, specially considering it is a port.
Great for the team. My first time hearing about this game. Trailer looks pretty cool and I might grab it. But man, such a blatant Zelda rip off. I feel like they just took the assets and made some modifications of their own. Yikes.
This. It's not exactly easy to find games once you have tens of thousands of indies to pick from.
Can't say for sure. Did a quick Google search and found nothing. I do remember a game called Chibi Knight being made for the Dev's child, so that might be the game you are thinking about.

True.
As the Switch library grows, I think we'll see smaller and smaller returns for indie games on the platform. But right now, they put every single game that's coming out on the platform on the same standing in the eShop Coming Soon page. That level playing field helps a whole lot.
I feel the same and usually hate clones but if done right, I sometimes let them pass.
This one looks done right.
