that is if you linked said account to your nintendo account

Hi Bebe.444, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

Please note that you can only link one PSN/Nintendo account to one Minecraft account, if you disconnect it, you won't be able to link another PSN/Nintendo account to it.

Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation/Nintendo account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation/Nintendo account can be associated with a different account.

If you choose to unlink accounts, then purchases will be returned to the account that made the purchase. Even after unlinking, Microsoft and PlayStation/Nitntendo accounts can only be re-linked to the original account.
