Can you unlink a Switch account from a child account?
Yes, as long as the child has their own Nintendo Account. If they don’t, and you’re not currently on the same console with them, then it will be impossible to do this. The only way to unlink accounts is if one person leaves Nintendo. Again, if someone else is handling all of this for your child it’s easy to do so by opening that person’s Parental Controls page in the game and clicking “Remove”. You can also just have a chat with them about this. You can still allow them to access the games from another console. If a child leaves Nintendo then any unlinked accounts will automatically be re-linked by Nintendo if necessary.
