The BotW Save Manager is a tool designed for managing save files for the game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild". It allows you to convert save files between the Nintendo Switch and Wii U versions of the game, as long as they share the same update version.

The BotW Save Manager is a fork of WemI0's BOTW_SaveConv, updated to DotNET 6 with full support for Windows and Linux.

Note: This tool is not a save editor. If you are looking to edit your save, use Marc Robledo's BOTW save editor to modify the contents of your save. This works for both WiiU and Switch files.

Download and install the DotNET 6.0 Runtime for your system: Windows x64 or Linux.

Download the latest release of BotwSaveEditor.

Run BotwSaveEditor.exe and bypass the smartscreen warning (This warning is caused by the unsigned .exe. Signing applications can become expensive, so it is impractical for community project such as this).
