This is a long shot but if your switch is hackable you can make a nand back up and dump the keys (just doing this won't get you banned) then you can mount your user partition as a drive in windows using HacDiskMount. If you managed to do that you can try running Recuva to see if you can get your save files back which can then be restored using that one file explorer rcm payload (sorry I can't remember the name). I'm not sure if restoring the save will get you banned but since Zelda is a offline game I doubt it.

First you need to know if your switch is hackable. If it is then this video explains the first step well. If you manage to do this let me know and I will show you how to do the next step.

I really appreciate that and thanks alot . I download android apk called switch scanner to see if my switch hackable or not . The good news it is hackable . My question is when I do the nand and rcm ( forgive me for not knowing anything cause am new to these stuff) can I play online like its not to jailbreak my switch right? Cause i play online alot

If you're talking about botw didn't it have an autosave feature, can't you retrieve an older save?

It can be used for jail breaking but it's not only for jailbreaking.

Wouldn't this get wiped with the rest of the saves?

Depends how far they gotten into the games it might over written the 5 available slot of autosave in game, should let them played on another user profile, it isn't the end of the world, you can always replay to be honest @Sol3y2010 .

Your save files are stored on the internal storage which is why you need a band back up first. I band back up is a complete copy of the internal storage and then you can open that link a usb on Windows and run recuva on that.

But how do i know exactly which zelda file is? I mean is there any program tell u? And how i can put the files back again to internal storage again

Once you have the back up and run recuva you can look for files in the folder named 01007EF00011E000 which is Breath of The Wild's title id.

I think there is 6 sub folders (one for each save + autosave) and each sub folder has a png file for the thumbnail and a actual file for the save file. So 12 in total I think? Maybe someone else can confirm. If you can only get one that's good enough though, at least you won't lose all of your progress.
