Zelda Fans Fear Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2 Lacks Cloud Saves

Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has sparked concern among fans due to a disclaimer indicating that it may not support the Nintendo Switch Online's Save Data Cloud Backup feature. This has raised questions about the transferability of saved data between the original and Switch 2 versions. While players are informed that they can import their saved data from the original Switch, the inability to utilize cloud saves could result in a confusing and potentially stressful experience, especially for those with extensive playtime. Nintendo has yet to clarify this issue, and players are hoping for a timely resolution to avoid losing valuable save files.

No, the current information states that the Switch 2 edition will not support the Nintendo Switch Online's Save Data Cloud backup feature, according to the game’s US and EU pages. This could lead to confusion for players trying to manage their save data across systems.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a critically acclaimed sequel to Breath of the Wild, enhancing its open-world exploration and gameplay mechanics. The game has already received praise for its storytelling, design, and expansive landscapes, effectively building upon its predecessor's legacy. With the anticipated Switch 2 launch, players are eager to see how Nintendo improves upon the Zelda experience while addressing concerns regarding save data management.
