Just FYI, you can also get a linked account using Kefir https://gbatemp.net/threads/kefir-updater.539086/No, you never need to be online when using CFW.
But you need a linked Nin tendo account. Without no chance.
To link it you have to go online once, no problem after starting OFW.
Attention! This will delete all existing accounts and Switch savegames (actually switch savegames remain on the system, but arent visible anymore - to delete them you have to delete each individual games savegames entirely (as in for all accounts, in switch settings) - but make absolutely sure you have them backed up with checkpoint first) on the system. So you have to back them up using Checkpoint ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/release...imple-save-manager-for-3ds-and-switch.503899/ ) first.
Read the entire Kefir thread, the procedure is described in there.
Before restoring savegames rename the linked Kefir account to your old accounts name again. Then restore backuped savegames.
To be able to do that. You have to start the game you want to restore the savegame for, with the new (linked) account, at least once (then it will show up in Checkpoint).
