Therefore Nintendo does that only if they are 100% certain, not just to intimidate like Rockstar does.

Why would Nintendo be so different from Rockstar? Why would Nintendo not use lawsuits just to intimindate? Rockstar too is a company with many the same interests as Nintendo, and I'm sure their lawyers are not cheap either.

Yet, Nintendo did not go to court and wanted to do this with a settlement.

That just proves the point that the threat of a lawsuit is enough to coerce people into submission though. As another example RyujinX e.g. just caved without any struggle.

And the brought up case of Yuzu does not apply here, because that was not just intimidation, that was because the Yuzu developers themselves shared Tears of the Kingdom millionth of times in Discord.

This has nothing to do with the legality of their emulator project. Nintendo used their power to extort more concessions from the devs. It also shows how Nintendo isn't afraid to use the uneven power balance to their advantage.
