Is it possible that someone may port the games on his own and will upload them like unofficial ports someday or do you think apple will step in?
I beg to differ, there is currently a project to decompile Breath the Wild. The goal of this project is for understanding the game’s mechanics, not to create an executable file, but if someone really wanted to and didn’t care about the legal ramifications they absolutely could reverse engineer the source code of a game

PC Ports, Decompilations, Remakes, Demakes, Fan Games, Conversion Mods, Texture Packs!
There is a decomp of Breath of the Wild but the dev says is not for playing is just to understanding the game code and how it was made https://botw.link/

backporting TotK to Wii U hardware
I've been inspired by the BotW disassembly (see https://github.com/zeldaret/botw) as well as the success in backporting Sonic Mania to the Wii U (https://github.com/Clownacy/Sonic-Mania-Decompilation-Wii-U). So clearly this is something that's doable. The only minor complication is that this will require soldering a bit more RAM into the Wii U, I already did this myself when I made a portable Wii U a few years ago; should be no problem for anyone with even a modest background in EE. You would of course also need a soft-modded Wii U and external HDD to run the game; there are plenty of tutorials on how to do this.

Code oversight causes Star Fragments not to spawn 1.67% of the time
I was browsing the BOTW decompilation project here to better understand how Star Fragments spawn. I've noticed when I'm waiting for Star Fragments on top of Dueling Peaks, for example, occasionally one doesn't spawn when it "should".

Is anyone working on a The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time PORT now that it has been completely decompiled??
I think they are working on that. Unless I'm misunderstanding this page

Descent was WAY ahead of its time. First fully 3D FPS ever made.
And that's the first level of Descent. :) I literally just started a brand-new game yesterday of Descent. DX-Rebirth.

32-bit software on a 64-bit OS
Find a remake of the game ported to a modern engine. https://www.dxx-rebirth.com/ appears to be a port of Descent 1 and 2 to the Source engine. It won't help with you running the 3DFX version, of course, but this might actually be better?

One of the best multiplayers I grew up on.
I loved this game. You can still play it with DXX Rebirth

Does anyone know if the physical expansions work on the Steam versions?
I would look at DXX rebirth, https://www.dxx-rebirth.com even if you just want to add the expansions to your steam version, you should be able to use its instructions to add the levels to your version.

Do native Linux Games that are listed as unsupported on Steam Deck still run?
Descent 2 - so long since I last played any Descent game I forgot how the experience was, but hey there's a source port!

What dial up sounded like
Or if you still want to play the originals, the DXX Rebirth mods also make it easy to play on modern computers!
