I thought Nintendo shut that down? Or was that just Switch emulation?

They sued one specific switch emulator.

And the 3DS emulator that the same team also created!

I think that was more collateral damage than anything, as Nintendo hasn't went after clones of Citra the 3DS emulator like they have with clones of the switch emulator.

That was just the Yuzu/Citra team. Main reason they got in trouble (from what I understand) is that they were making money off of it, specifically people had to subscribe to their patreon to get Tears of the Kingdom optimized builds, when the only copy of TotK available was an illegal pre-release one.

There were some more things like messages they sent that were incriminating, but that was the biggest thing afaik.

For what it's worth, that bit about Patreon isn't true. There were fixed builds before release, but they were third party ones unaffiliated with the Yuzu devs.
