One of the big feature requests Switch owners have at the moment is the ability to backup and transfer save data. Thankfully, this is something that Nintendo was apparently thinking about before the system even launched.

The full Switch SDK leaked online today. We’re not really going to discuss it much here, but a couple of excerpts from official documents are worth pointing out.

The first concerns a save data transfer feature that will be released in the future:

In the future, we plan to provide a feature to transfer account save data among multiple consoles. As a result, there is the possibility that user accounts with uninitialized account save data will be added. Note that your design must work without issue, even in this case.

The first DLC pack for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is just on the horizon. Nintendo will be distributing The Master Trials on Friday.

Nintendo’s Japanese website now shows how much space is needed for the DLC. On Switch, The Master Trials is a 456MB download. The Wii U version requires 3.7GB of free space.

It’s unclear why The Master Trials is such a bigger download on Wii U. It’s just a theory, but Switch might be able to handle more advanced file compression.
