Hi all,

Here' the deal.

I currently have the limited edition Zelda Link between two worlds 3DS and have ordered the new Majoras Mask 3DS.

My current 3DS was pre-installed with Zelda a link between two worlds and I have downloaded a few games from Nintendo's store.

The new 3DS will come pre-installed with Majoras Mask.

I just don't get how I'm going to transfer everything to my new 3DS without losing something on the new 3DS?

Can anyone help by instructing me what to do?

From what I understand, data on the New 3DS isn't overwritten when you transfer from the 3DS - not unless the data exists twice. As such, Majora's Mask 3D should stay on your New 3DS even after the transfer. I can't say for certain exactly how you'd run the transfer, though, so hopefully someone will be able to help with that. (Mainly because I've never transferred to a system with existing data.)

Both accounts will merge once you do the transfer process. It will have deleted the Majora's Mask game on the New 3DS micro SD card, but you can redownload it from the Eshop. Just be sure not to make a NNID on the New system before you start the transfer, and you should be fine.

It's also good to back up your original 3DS' SD card onto a computer, then just transfer that from your PC to the Micro SD card for the New 3DS once the transfer is complete.

Follow the link from the guy above my post, and you should be fine.

The MM New 3DS does not come with Majora's Mask preinstalled.

In the UK/Europe it does. In North America it does not.

Yep, I'm from the UK so it comes pre installed.

Okay, thanks for the replies.

How does this work when I add in a new 32gb micro SD card into the mix?

I'd like to put in my new 3DS a larger capacity card.

How does the system know I'm entitled to re download majoras mask? If I'm replacing the micro sd in the new console?

the system knows because you use your same nintendo account to log in. so it'll see that you own majora's mask but it isn't on your new system yet. that's my guess.
