Nope, you can't transfer Animal Crossing: New Horizons save data to another user account or console directly. Nintendo made it pretty clear that your island is tied to your console. However, there's a bit of hope with the Island Transfer Tool app for moving your entire island to another console, but that's more about the island than individual saves. So, if you're thinking about moving just your character and their goodies, you're out of luck.

Actually, kinda yes but with a big asterisk. You can transfer your entire island to another Nintendo Switch console using the Island Transfer Tool, but this doesn't allow for transferring individual save data between accounts. It's an all or nothing deal. So if you wanna start fresh but keep your island, this is your ticket.

Why would you even wanna do that? Part of the charm is building from scratch! But nah, you can't just shift your save data to another account. Gotta embrace the grind.

No. Animal Crossing saves are locked down tighter than Fort Knox. Nintendo doesn't allow for the transferring of save data between accounts. Your best bet is using the Island Transfer Tool for moving the whole island, not individual saves.
