You forgot one small detail, Nintendo doesn’t need a legal basis to sue. They have more money which allows them to weaponize the legal system against anyone they don’t like. Any small team like this cant even afford lawyers.
Apart from the fact that they haven’t gone after the OOT recompiler.
Minty is the most litigious gaming company around, they don’t sit on their haunches and wait to see what comes next. If there was something to sue over, they would have.
Just like they would have sued the hundreds of Pokémon romhack groups out there if they could.
The Switch emulation litigation was much more grey than this. There were multiple problems with Yuzu, not the least of which was the official channels openly supporting and aiding piracy. They also included encryption keys, which is always a no-no.
You’ll notice that the only emulator that got taken down through litigation was Yuzu and forks. There are other Switch emulators out there which are perfectly fine.
