Tried transferring my island once, and the best advice I can give is to double-check your target Switch has enough free space. The transfer tool will tell you it's all clear, but I had to delete a couple of games before it actually worked. Also, patience is key!
Transferring your Animal Crossing island is simpler than it sounds! First, both the source and the target Switch must have the Island Transfer Tool app installed from the eShop - it's free! Then, on the source Switch, open the tool and select 'Transfer Island Data.' On the target Switch, open the tool and choose 'Receive Island Data.' Follow the on-screen instructions, and voila! Your island will start transferring. Remember, both Switch consoles need to be connected to the internet during this process.
