A disclaimer on the Nintendo website stating various games, including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, would not support the save data cloud backup feature has been removed, and in its place is a new disclaimer that clarifies the situation.

As spotted by Nintendo Life, the original disclaimer and any mention of cloud saves potentially not being supported has been removed from games like Donkey Kong Bananza and Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV. In Tears of the Kingdom's case, a new disclaimer can be found:

"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."

That is a much different message from the original. Since Nintendo is not stating otherwise, it sounds like cloud saves for the Switch 1 version of the game can be transferred to Switch 2, allowing those who played Tears of the Kingdom on the original Switch to easily carry over their save data. The disclaimer's wording also makes it sound possible to transfer Switch 2 cloud save data to another Switch 2. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Switch 2 store page now sports the same disclaimer.

In addition to cloud saves (or for those who aren't Nintendo Switch Online subscribers), players can also initiate a system transfer between Switch 1 and Switch 2 to carry over digital games and save files.

That's good news for Switch 1 owners looking to take advantage of the new Switch 2 functionality offered for games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Both will come with improved performance and additional features like the Zelda Notes app, which adds in-game achievements and the ability to share discoveries and even items with other players. Those who own the Switch 1 version can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for $10. Here's a full list of every original Nintendo Switch game getting a Switch 2 enhanced version.

Cloud saves have been just one aspect of the Switch 2's reveal to have fans scratching their heads, with fans also having plenty of questions about Switch 2 Game-Key Cards. Nintendo later clarified that they do not become account-bound on use despite essentially being just digital downloads, allowing them to be slotted into different consoles, borrowed, or sold like a normal physical game.

The Switch 2 will finally be available for preorder April 24, with most retailers set to begin selling Nintendo's new console at 9 PM PT April 23 / 12 AM ET April 24. Despite a delay in accepting preorders ahead of the Switch 2's June 5 launch, Nintendo didn't raise the price of the console itself in the face of US tariffs. The Switch 2 will cost $450 on its own or $500 for a bundle that includes Mario Kart World. Nintendo did, however, increase the price of various launch accessories and controllers.
