The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild:

This game does not support Save Data Cloud backup

In response to Nintendo's announcement that it'll support the Cloud backup feature on Switch versions of Nintendo's popular Wii U and Wii U XL , Nintendo said it was "aware of the concerns expressed in the comments section" and would not confirm when the service will be available.

And in addition, Nintendo Switch games can download and save their game data directly from the cloud—a concept that has not yet been implemented by the company itself. To do so, Wii U support was introduced in a demo video by a representative from Nintendo's U.S. branch, which was posted to YouTube, a popular online service for console gamers that lets them play in the cloud.

Nintendo Switch's $20/year cost includes a promise to "save your data online for easy access"—which, for the uninitiated, will be the only way to back up your Switch games' save data when it launches. Currently, should your Nintendo Switch be lost, stolen, or damaged, your progress in games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is toast, as you cannot personally back save data up to a hard drive. (Full system backups can be transferred from one console to another, but not if the host system is too damaged to power on.)
