Hyrule Warriors, Smash Bros, Pokemon, Kirby, Fire Emblem, Paper Mario, Donkey Kong Country and many others are not made by internal Nintendo employees.
Technically, the latest DKC games basically were, for all legal purposes, developed internally. Retro Studios is 100% a full first party division of Nintendo not unlike EAD/EPD, whereas Rare wasn't fully owned by them.
