Oddly enough, one game thatA Short Hikecan be compared to is actuallyThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game is all about exploration, with players having to climb up cliffs and glide around to reach new areas. It also draws inspiration from titles likeSuper Mario 64andAnimal Crossing. Considering this, it may be especially relevant to Switch owners, and so it’s no surprise that it’s made its way to the Nintendo Switch.
