I found:
Immortals Fenyx Rising (Proton, Steam Deck Playable)
Kingdoms of Amalur: ReReckoning (Proton, Steam Deck Verified)
Pine (Native Linux, Steam Deck Verified)
Thanks to a YouTube video I watched recently.
I would put Genshin Impact here as well, but that's not an option for Linux gamers due to the anti-cheat.
There's also Veloren, a FOSS game inspired by Cube World, but which also takes inspiration from Breath of the Wild.
If you want 2D platformer games featuring cute characters, there's Commander Keen, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Hocus Pocus, and Monster Bash.
Commander Keen runs perfectly on the Commander Genius source port/engine, Monster Bash HD runs natively, and the other two run perfectly in DOSBox.
And if you liked Hocus Pocus, you should check out Hocus Pocus Doom.
Also, I know the OP said:
However, DOSBox doesn't require illegally-ripped ROMs, unlike most other gaming platform emulators.

That's totally fair! I threw that in there mainly to ward off the possibility of "Just emulate their current stuff.", which would defeat the point of voting with our wallets for the alternatives and cutting Nintendo out of the picture entirely.

Since Commander Keen was mentioned, we can't forgot about Jazz Jackrabbit or the sequel. There's also a source port for them too.

I realize now that I should've posted about this game on the present thread, rather than here, as I did a couple of days ago: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/6068/
https://github.com/furious-programming/Fairtris-2-UC
This is a subtly enhanced clone of NES Tetris written in FreePascal; it requires the Lazarus IDE to build; & depends on SDL2.
They have a detailed readme, and a github wiki, where you can find implementation details, screenshots, etc. - https://github.com/furious-programming/Fairtris-2-UC/wiki/Gameplay
