I played Zelda Breath of the Wild on my friend's Wii U. However, I have recently bought myself a Wii U and a copy of the game. Is there a way to transfer data over to my Wii U? I used my own profile when playing the game. Thanks!

  • Haven't tested this, so I'm not posting it as an answer, but can't you stick a USB drive into your friend's Wii U, move the save data onto it, then plug the drive into your own Wii U and play off of it? You might need to extract the save data from it into the game data from your purchased copy.

  • No, you can't. The USB drive is formatted for an unique wiiu. The pendrive would be usable only on his friend's console.

Sadly it is not possible to move saved data from one Wii U console to another one there are several articles on this on Nintendo's support site. All detail the same answer. This particular one breaks it down in a pretty simple way.
