I forgot to check if I could pirate and just went ahead with the switch purchase assuming piracy was impossible. Lol, worst mistake I ever made. Now I have a save file in TOTK half-way done with the game and idk if I would ever finish the game.
Piracy is definitely possible. You just have to find an early switch model, unless you're good with a soldering iron. I've had 2 modded switches for years and there is homebrew that helps you back up your saves. https://www.reddit.com/r/NxSwitchModding/comments/1cpo4r1/how_to_back_up_restore_or_transfer_your_nintendo/
You don't even need a Switch to play Switch games, just a somewhat decent PC. Keep it on the down low though, Nintendo doesn't like it and they have an army of fanboys who will defend them.
You only need a physical Switch and to dump the games if you want to do everything perfectly legally.
That's true, I only recently got a computer that could handle switch emulation but I know it's been around for a long time. It's probably a lot easier than dealing updates on a modded switch.
