Legend of Zelda
(I’ve played so many D&D games that involved dungeon crawling. Shouldn’t be a surprise since it’s in the title. The reasons always differed, but we always found our way into some kind of dungeon.)
In search of fame and fortune
They delve into the darkest holes
Magic torchlight licking skulls
Of those that failed to live
Dust and dirt stuck to the floor
Held fast by long-dried blood
Creatures scurry within the gloom
Harmless scavengers awaiting death
And fearsome beasts of hell
They rest and wait for greedy guests
Listening for the sounds of traps
Reset by the screams of death
All to find the ancient trove
Filled with coins and jewels
And magic tools long lost to man
These adventurers enter into darkness
To claim the blinding treasure
Legends of Windemere 
A very apt description of a very fun aspect of so many games! Breath of the Wild 2 should have plenty!

I’ve heard. Never played the first one due to time and money. I looked the dungeon adventures of all the ones I played though. Really need to see if I can get Ocarina of Time for the Switch one day.
