Owlboy dev says Switch a "natural fit" for the game,

Owlboy has been on a number of platforms already, but it just recently came to Switch. According to Owlboy creator and D-Pad Studio art director Simon Stafsnes, bringing the game to Switch just made sense.

“We all grew up with Nintendo as kids. We thought this will fit pretty well. We looked at all the different consoles, because we wanted everyone to play it…but the Switch just seemed like a natural fit for us.”

Some might have picked up quite a heavy Zelda influence in Owlboy, and that's no mistake. Stafsnes was directly inspired by the series.

"Wind Waker taught me that the most important thing is to have very recognizable shapes for people, so I definitely took inspiration from that and the environment, just to make sure it feels alive and you can interact with everything in it.”

Thanks to Sligeach_eire for the heads up!
