[Nintendo/Zelda/OoT Remake] What should I expect if I return to Nintendo now? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I grew up with the N64 and OoT. I quit console gaming after the GameCube, having loved WW, only to return to Nintendo for a year or so when the Switch came out. I was still able to "plug 'n' play" shit back then. I don't own any consoles at the moment. I would like to purchase the Switch 2 in order to play the remake of OoT and then, probably, just sell it. No, I do not have friends to borrow shit from.

What should I expect privacy wise? Do I need to create an account, send Nintendo a saliva, urine and hair sample in addition to a voice sample and image and age verification? Or can I just buy the console, buy the cartridge and play and be happy?

You can just create a local profile on the switch and not even connect it to the internet. No online services for OoT means it won't require a connection.

If there are any bugs, you'd have to turn the wifi on to update it, obviously. But as long as you're playing a singleplayer / offline game, you can totally play on Switch 2 without internet. I tested this with a fresh copy of Splatoon Raiders.
