Please help! My 8 year old son took his switch to a friend's house and the Zelda BOTW cartridge came up missing (surprise!!). Except, I've been playing the game and was 3/4 of the way through it. I've heard that all of the progress is actually saved on console, not the cartridge. If I buy a new cartridge, I've heard that I will be able to pick up where I left off. My question is, would that be true if I buy a download instead of a new cartridge? Or, will it overwrite my progress so far with a new download?
@ericvennon That's true. Switch game save data is saved on the console, no on the cartridge. So, you can lose & replace a cartridge without loosing BOTW progress as many times as you like
You can also buy BOTW digitially and resume the game. As posted above, it looks like that's the route you took. That works!
So by the looks of it, the answer is 'yes, you can buy a new copy of the game and continue to play where you left off.' I don't think this topic needs to be revived.
