Nintendo has recently confirmed that the Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will indeed support cloud saves, much to the relief of fans. This comes after initial concerns sparked by a disclaimer on Nintendo's website that suggested the game might not include this feature. Previously, the website stated, "Please note: this software does not support the Nintendo Switch Online paid membership’s Save Data Cloud backup feature." However, the updated information now clarifies that while players can transfer their old Switch 1 saves to the new Switch 2, it won't be possible to transfer saves from the Switch 2 back to the original system.

Interestingly, the situation with Donkey Kong Bananza is different; its page no longer mentions cloud saves at all. Meanwhile, the The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition page also reflects the same save transfer policy, indicating a consistent approach across these titles.

This news comes as Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders have gone live, maintaining a price point of $449.99. The response has been as enthusiastic as expected, and for those looking to secure their own, IGN's Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order guide offers detailed information on how to do so.
