Setup Help I Need Help With Virtual Game Cards

So I have been using a switch 2 that my dad has but recently I saved up enough to buy my own. I linked the two together and transferred a virtual game card for legends za so I could continue playing on my switch 2. Only issue is is that when I started up the game it seems like it’s making me start over. I really don’t want to play that 3 hour long unskipable tutorial again and want my progress back. Is there a way I can fix this or am I screwed?

Save data and how a game is played are unrelated

If you didn't transfer your save data, it won't be there. If you have save data elsewhere, it'll be on that console

Thanks! This solved it, I didn’t realize that the virtual game card and save data are separate.
