The situation is this: I don't have my original Switch anymore. It's with someone I know, but in a different city. That person also has my copy of Breath of the Wild. Now I'm considering buying a new Switch to play TOTK, and I know there's a few small things that carry over if you have a BOTW save file on your Switch.
So the question is: If my BOTW save file is in my Nintendo Online account, can I make the new Switch download it even though BOTW has never been inserted into that console (i.e. it's not available on the home screen etc)? Or does the console have to be "aware" of the game to allow the save file to be downloaded?
