Fully understand if this is impossible, but is there any way to pirate/emulate switch games?
Found smash/totk on fitgirl repacks but it uses yuzu which requires a switch. Not spending 300 on an ageing console atp, is there any workaround?

In what way does yuzu require a Switch? That hasn't been my experience.
Its the legal way
yuzu requires keys which you're supposed to officially dump from your own console. you can just pirate them.
just reading off their site: Prerequisites A hackable Nintendo Switch console (preferably a model that is vulnerable to the fusée-gelée exploit). Visit Is My Switch Patched? to check if your console is not patched. A microSD card with at least 32 GB of storage capacity. 64 GB or higher is recommended. A USB-C to USB-A or USB-C to USB-C cable to connect your Switch to your computer.

Fitgirl's repacks already contain the necessary files. These steps are unnecessary. There are also alternative ways of sourcing the files. :)
ok, thank you, can I also ask for the general idea of where to find these?
If you just want to play one game, Fitgirl's repacks are by far the easiest way, because she does all the setting-up for you. But if you want to play multiple games, you should be able to get them from the same places you get your NSPs. prod.keys and title.keys - I got mine from https://rentry.org/128bbkeys.
This prod site has everything you need besides the rom
That's just something they say because they love Nintendo's dick in their mouth.
yeah, thought so, got banned off their discord for even hinting at the prospect of piracy smh
They're just protecting themselves; Nintendo's legal team is infamously tenacious and expensive to defend against, so yuzu can't give them the slightest indication they support the real day-to-day use case of their software.
They dance so we can sail.
