Below is a list of movies that Nintendo pointed out as copyright infringement. 24 of the 27 movies specified were movies related to 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'.

Many of the movies related to 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' that received a warning of copyright infringement used MOD (a program that modifies the contents of the game). Nintendo's guidelines prohibit posting movies using 'modified game software', so Nintendo's response is reasonable.

However, according to PointCrow, some of the movies that received copyright infringement warnings included normal gameplay movies that did not use MOD.

PointCrow argues that the copyright infringement warning is unjustified, given that Nintendo's guidelines allow posting regular gameplay movies.

In the MOD play movie posted by Mr. PointCrow, it was said that ``The MOD used was developed by a paid request to the MOD creator.'' Hacker News, a news sharing site, speculates that ``paying money to mod creators angered Nintendo.''

Also, one Hacker News user has contraindications such as ``too conspicuous in interviews with famous media'', ``using pirated versions of games'', ``causing financial transactions'', and ``creating original remakes and original sequels of game works''. Pointed out that Nintendo will not say anything about copyright infringement unless it is violated. On top of that, Mr. PointCrow's MOD play movie had characteristics such as 'reported by famous media' and 'we had financial transactions with MOD creators', so we speculate that he was warned of copyright infringement. increase.
