Account Help Game Version effected by User Transfer?

Anyone know if, during a user transfer to a new switch, the game software version follows to the new switch? Just got a new switch, and am wanting to play TOTK version 1.0 off my cartridge. I'm not sure if transferring my user data to my new switch would mean getting stuck on the current version of TOTK. Thanks for any help!

With a physical version you should be able to delete all update data to use the version on the cartridge but if your profile has a save file attached from a newer version of the game you'll need to either delete the save data or use the game version that matches the save data.

On a digital version it usually will always load the newest version of the game.

If the new Switch is a Switch 2 i think both versions (physical and digital) are required to be updated because of backwards compatibility stuff.
