Idk, never tried because I just assumed it was impossible and already bought legit copies of the games I wanted to play, but recently doing some searching and there are videos of people running Zelda games on SteamDeck so I was kinda sad to find out I probably should've tried doing the piracy route first.

Maybe if I find time, I'll try pirating anyways for shits and giggles. But can't transfer the save from my legit copies tho (because nintendo doesn't seem allow saves to be exportable, its either cloud sync or stored on the local device), so I probably would just have to finish the game on the switch.

Btw, I thought the switch allows exporting saves so I could continue the game later on other platforms, but nope. Its cloud backup only and that is a fucking monthly subscription (they delete your saves 180 days after your "nintendo online" subscription expires)

So... yeah.... feels like I made a mistake. Never gonna get another nintendo (the only reason I did was because I haven't really played nintendo games since early childhood like nearly 2 decades ago.)
