Do we need to worry about GitHub shutting this down even though it’s not doing anything wrong?
Given we're dealing with Nintendo. Yes absolutely.
Actually not really. It's not sharing any of Nintendo's assets so there isn't any ground for it to be removed.
Since when has not having grounds stopped corporations from trying? Case in point, YouTube copyright striking
They're much more likely to spend time on the easy wins than on anything that'll take time and money to fight in court. Since these folks aren't redistributing any of Nintendo's copyrighted content, it's not as simple of a takedown as an emulator that includes private keys.
Github isn't taking Nintendo to court over one of their users projects. They just comply with the takedown request and remove it. The user/dev isn't going to fight Nintendo to bring it back either.
what emulator includes private keys? because it's not yuzu
So how do you exactly play if there are no game assets?
Just find the original you left on archive.org
That's where I left that thing!
Just in case you are still curious, and I don't see any actual answers here. The download provided is all the code for the game engine and everything else that would be going on in the background of the game. Anything that could be copyrighted by Nintendo (things like character and object models, textures, music, and environments) need to come from a totally legit dump from an official Nintendo cartridge and definitely not any ol' .rom file you can download online
Yo OP, your link is broken...

the post title is "Release Trailer"
Indeed.
The post also contains a link to github as well as a link to youtube.
The github link does not work, hence my comment.
