Is there a possibility to link my steam libary to a switch/nintendo account?

[Bexnard]

I've never owned any of the nintendo products and would like to get a switch lite instead of the steam deck because it's cheaper and basically don't need a handheld console besides for playing terraria and risk of rain 2.

My question is will i be able to link the switch to my steam libary or will i have to buy the games separately.

If I will need to buy them separately is there an online libary for games like steam where I can just download them or will i need to buy physical copies?

Thank you all for the answers in advance.

No, you cannot link your Steam library to the Nintendo Switch, they're two completely different platforms.

Nintendo have the E-Shop, their own digital distribution platform that is used by the Switch, although, most Switch owners prefer to buy physical because Nintendo have a nasty habit of shutting down their digital stores not long after a console's life cycle, locking people out of their digital purchases.

Moreover, if you worked out the cost of a Switch and rebuying games, it would probably come to considerably more than just buying a Steam Deck and playing the games you already own.
