I have an email from Nintendo that suggests they can link a new console to an old account as long as you have the old serial number and the new serial number - and provided that you can give them some information to verify your account (last three purchases, card used on the account etc) - I guess they do something on the server side that the system transfer function would also do for you if you had both consoles. They were also partially linked to your console via your NNID and the console's serial number. These consoles come from a time when things were not fully linked to your Nintendo account. I bought a fair amount of digital content on both consoles.
I wiped both consoles and factory reset them before selling, but I didn't think to write down their serial numbers or anything. I sold my old 3DS and Wii U when saving to buy my first home.
