    C&D is part of the SLAPP suits strategy, and isn’t really about legal or not, it’s intimidation until someone give up due to the legal fee of fighting said lawsuit. It happened to Yuzu, while pretty much other nintendo emulator still around.

      This is not what happened to Yuzu. They gave up, because the Yuzu team would lose the case. Nintendo collected evidence in their Discord server, how the developers of Yuzu shared Tears of the Kingdom millionth of times. It was 100% not legal. On the other side, we are talking about legal projects like decompiling.

      If you are so right, why didn’t Nintendo Cease and Desist prior projects? What makes it Twilight Princess so different or special, that it will happen now? I know why, because Nintendo can’t do anything here. Cease and Desist letters are a personal request, not a legal threat. If the team ignores it, nothing will happen.
