I hacked Zelda to because I'm not great at games but enjoy the story and I can progress the game at a reasonable pace without being overly frustrated. Also it doesn't affect anyone else so it makes it ok.
Single-player games are a whole different thing. People should be able to play single-player in whatever way they prefer as it doesn't impact anybody but themselves. Some games even come with "story-mode" difficulties and such for people just looking to enjoy the story and not looking for a challenge and that's fine. Games used to come with cheat codes for the same purpose (well, for testing purposes initially but eventually for "play it whatever way you want").
Is it still allowed when it's a Nintendo game though?
Indeed it is, no one has to listen to the salty chuds at Nintendo, just make sure you're blocking Nintendo domains on Atmosphere's hosts file. Else they'll put you in gay baby jail.
I have put into the jail too. I can't access any of my switch games that I purchased in the past :(
