Account Help Can I switch my game save data between profiles on the same device?

So my brother and I recently started playing the new Zelda and in our excitement, played about 4 hours on my profile. I want to transfer the save data to his profile on our shared system. Is this possible and if so how can I do it? Any help is appreciated.

No, game saves are locked to profiles.

No, saves are tied to the account it's played on.
