Nintendo have had a conflicted stance about community projects over the years. From threatening UltraHLE (early Nintendo 64 emulator) developers back in the late 90s to largely ignoring the Wii exploits and homebrew scene in the mid-to-late 2000s to attempting to hire private investigators to identify and implicate 3DS homebrew developers in 'illegal' activities.
A similar case is when the PS3 Slim was released without OtherOS support and later removed from existing consoles with a firmware-update that really incited research and development into the PS3 console security, which led to a full break around late 2010 and Sony attempting to retaliate with smear-campaign and prosecution(s) for copyright infringement across the USA and Europe. Some of those were more successful than others.
There have been public emulators for recent consoles from Nintendo and Sony and they've managed to stay up without any cease-and-desist or lawsuits so one would imagine they are doing something correctly to protect themselves (such as not being associated with piracy and some of the shady monetisation involved with that).
I'm wondering if it could be prudent to at least make the default quest be one of the custom quests. And maybe remove the remakes of the original games (1st, 2nd, and BS Zelda).
For the classic quests that remake original games, they are made in the ZQuest engine so I'm not distributing any ROMs. However, there are some videogame music files which may be ripped from the ROMs (not sure on their origination). And the graphics are obviously taken from the games too.
Although, pretty much every quest uses some sort of copyrighted material (these are fan games after all). Not sure if any of this falls under fair-use.
