No Shadows In Game View - Shadows in Scene View

I am having issues with shadows and lighting.

In Scene View this is what I see when I zoom close to the level layout:

enter image description here

But when I am in Game View this is what I see:

enter image description here

And these are my camera settings:

How can I increase my shadow view so that the camera can see the shadows without being so close to the level? I am aiming for a top down sort of game and I don't want the camera being so zoomed in or close to the level. Am I missing something in my settings?

I don't know if anyone will still get this problem. Someone will, eventually. In my quest of reducing game size, I changed the quality of the game, and I unchecked the high fidelity, so shadows weren't casting. The solution that worked for me was just to check the box. I'm happy now. So PROJECT SETTINGS >

Step 3 was also my issue (after a lot of searching). I think "Shadow Distance" makes a lot of folks (or at least me) think of "Length of the Shadow", but actually it is the distance from the camera at which shadows are cast. In a game with a very distant camera (mine is, top down) this removes shadows since they are outside of the distance!

1.Make sure there is a light in the scene. Directional Light is fine.

2.Make sure that your GameObject has "Cast Shadows" and "Receive Shadows" checked.

3.Go to Edit > Project Settings > Quality.Increase the Shadow Distance. This setting depends on the scale of your Scene/3D model.
