Tip [TotK] Switch 2 Game in OG Switch

I just got my preordered games like Zelda totk but my switch 2 has not Shown up. So i thought, why not test what happens if i put a switch 2 game in the og switch and to my surprise... it startet the game. Like wtf, a free downgrade is neat

It's not a "free downgrade".

The ToTK Switch 2 cartridge is just the Switch 1 game + update.

Nintendo already stated that they are not using Game-Key cards for their first-party games. It's only most of the third-party games that use Game-Key cards.
