How to transfer WiiU BotW Savegame to your Switch
In this simple tutorial I will explain how to transfer you BotW save file from your WiiU or Cemu to the Switch.
1) Grab you WiiU BotW savegame, you can use SaveMii if you use a WiiU, or if you use Cemu, go to:
US: Cemu\mlc01\usr\save\00050000\101c9400\user\80000001
EUR: Cemu\mlc01\usr\save\00050000\101c9500\user\80000001
This is how your BotW save file should look like:
2) Now we need to convert the savegame, or it won't work with the Switch.
(Make sure both versions of BotW have the same update version)
Download this tool:
https://github.com/WemI0/BOTW_SaveConv/releases
Move it into the savegame folder:
Run it, and press "y" to start the conversion. (PS: Make a backup of your savegame folder, it will overwrite the files)
Wait a bit, and once the conversion finished, you should see that:
Delete "BOTW_SavConv.exe" from the savegame folder.
3) Now we can start the injection, boot into atmosphere, and use checkpoint to inject the saves:
