The only classic first-party Nintendo properties I could see functioning in a meatspace film would have to be Metroid and maybe Fire Emblem.
Metroid could work as an action sci-fi with horror elements, although the games themselves cover it pretty well already, not sure how much more an film could bring to it, aside from more realism.
And maybe Fire Emblem simply because that genre of fantasy the games are based in has already been done in many live-action forms. Even with magic and the dragons/Mamkutes, it wouldn't be difficult, though the plots of the games are sometimes shoe-string. I'd prefer it be an anime though (not the garbage CGI they did in Three Houses)
Path of Radiance actually had a surprisingly good story. If there was a Fire Emblem movie made, that'd be one I wouldn't mind being the main inspiration.
