Gaming Why can't I move my Wind Waker HD save data to a usb/HDD?

I have a USB stick and a 1TB Seagate Portable Drive (STGX1000400) with a y-cable and they both let me store games and save data from other games. But I get an error message when I try to move Wind Waker HD over to an external device. Did Nintendo block this game from being transferrable?

no, I own a wind waker console in fact, and iirc, it has a download voucher instead of it being stored on internal storage, same with the historia thing. not sure what could be going on there, but save data and game/update/dlc must all be on the same drive. do not use a flash drive either. the wiiu has serious problems with them.

I deleted the game and tried to transfer just the save data to the hard drive and I continue to get the error message.

I'm not trying to run the save data off of the drive, just move it around.

not sure, but are you transferring from flash to hdd or the other way around or from internal storage?

I'm transferring form internal storage to HDD.

use savemii mod to transfer the save to hdd, delete the save, redownload or reinstall the game, then inject the save back. that might solve the problem if something weird is happening with that particular game or save.
