The game is a copyrighted work, but so is the source code. The compiled code is a derivative work, and so is the decompiled code. Nintendo is not selling the source code, so arguing about sales in the market does not makes sense.

The fair use analysis is done on the work as a whole, the Zelda game that's registered on the Copyright Office. Not the code only.
