Nintendo has officially confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will indeed support cloud saves, much to the relief of fans. Initially, there was confusion and concern when Nintendo's website displayed a disclaimer stating that the game would not support the Nintendo Switch Online paid membership’s Save Data Cloud backup feature. However, Nintendo has since updated the information on their site, clarifying the situation.
The revised disclaimer now reads: "Save data created in the second save data slot in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition cannot be transferred to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Nintendo Switch." This means that players will be able to transfer their existing Switch 1 saves to the new Switch 2, but transferring saves from the Switch 2 back to the original Switch will not be possible. This clarification was first reported by Eurogamer.
Interestingly, the page for Donkey Kong Bananza has removed all references to cloud saves, leaving fans of that game in the dark about its save data capabilities. Meanwhile, the page for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition now includes a similar message regarding save transfers, indicating a consistent approach across these enhanced versions of popular Switch 1 titles.
In other news, pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have gone live, maintaining a price point of $449.99. The demand has been as high as anticipated. For those interested, IGN's Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order guide provides detailed information on how to secure your console.
