Nintendo Listings For Two Legend Of Zelda Games Reveals Cloud Saves Won’t Be Supported

Two major Legend of Zelda games by Nintendo are set to receive upgrade paths when the Nintendo Switch 2 launches this year. Preorders for Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild have been made available on Nintendo’s website, allowing fans to catch a sneak peek at the new game features and enhancements that come with each title upon their launch.

On the game listings for the Switch 2 editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, a detail that might catch the keen-eyed among us has surfaced! This intriguing observation was initially shared by ComicBook.com and Eurogamer on April 17th, 2025. In the EU/UK listings for these games, there’s an important aspect conspicuously missing, and Nintendo has yet to provide clarity on it.

In this version, I aimed to keep the original meaning while making the language more natural and easy to read. The key points of the sentence remain the same: the discovery made in game listings, the date when it was first reported, and the missing feature that needs clarification from Nintendo.

Based on reports from ComicBook.com and Eurogamer, it appears that official EU/UK listings for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have a noticeable disclaimer tucked away at the bottom, an area gamers might overlook. This notice reveals a troubling detail – a feature missing in both games when they launch on June 5th, 2025.

Important notice: This software does not include the cloud backup feature for Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions.”

Regarding Eurogamer’s report, it seems that this warning is missing from Japanese listings and other Nintendo games. However, it remains unclear why this disclaimer specifically applies to these Zelda titles.

It’s a notable inconvenience that Cloud Saves aren’t available for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Some users on ResetEra have hinted at upgrade paths for these games, which include an additional save slot. This means players can transfer their saves from the original Switch to the Switch 2, but it seems this convenience might mean no Cloud Save options, a possible explanation for why this feature is absent.
