Hey Guys, hopefully you can help I lost my game save for Breath of the Wild I really realllllly dont want to start over so I've been looking around online and TTG has the game saves for it but I cannot for the life of me work out how I get the save onto my Switch am I being stupid?

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure saves only work on the console/account they were made from.
Did you not have them backed up to the Cloud backup function?

99.9% certain you could only use those game saves if you have a hacked Switch.

Oh no, so I cannot use anyone else's? The Switch never put my saves into the Cloud and this is kinda my last ditch attempt I'm so upset does this mean I will need to start over I saw Hippo say you need a hacked Switch my Switch is not hacked I just expected you could share saves around mannnnn

If you’ve lost the save then you’ll have to start again.
