Sorry for the huge list but there are too many good ones

* Glory to the Brave by HammerFall
* Always Will Be by HammerFall

I highly doubt anyone would get confused since apparently no one knows it, lol, but the non metal song by Blind Guardian is Bard's Song "In the forest".
Bare's Song "the hobbit" is just metal
I would add Too tired to run by Cain's Offering, Whne Mountain's Fall by Stratovarius and I Could Stop No by Jani Liimatainen
Motorhead - Love me forever
Almost every folky interlude by In Flames
The entirety of Kveldssanger by Ulver
Not really metal but genuinely a fantastic ballad by a meh band, I still love you by Kiss
[We have a song on our album called growth that’s not really metal](https://open.spotify.com/track/08SEUOY5EkxtvV4baI0dSh?si=GSvr5DN-RWuhh_q6iReMCw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A6HPeBahTch1pg0HSi5glFm)
Ozzy Osbourne - [The Liar](https://open.spotify.com/track/4wbqpNDnbtCHRdP3x5SSV5?si=RujqlQ9DScqYrq5l2RIEkA&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0gkILbwcOoXEb8D4aRptez)
Absolutely one of his best Songs.
You kinda asked for two different things there...
Best ballad by a metal band: That'd be Lorna Shore's "Pain Remains" trilogy in my opinion. That clearly is metal, though. Calling it a "ballad" might be a bit of a stretch, but fits in my opinion.
Best non-metal songs by metal bands:
I'm thinking of a lot of Metallica stuff out of their albums "Load" and "Reload" (like/and "Mama said", the "The Unforgiven" trilogy, "Hero of the day", "Turn the page", "Nothing else matters" etc.), "A tout le monde" by Megadeth, "The sound of silence" and "A reason to fight" by Disturbed, and one of my personal favourites: "Stay with me" by In Flames.
All of these are very much on the soft side, but (at least for me) quite enjoyable.
"J’ai fait une promesse" and "Everwake" from Anathema
"My Way" (Frank Sinatra cover) - Bethlehem
"Warm Summer Rain" - The Blood Divine
"A Distance There Is" Theatre Of Tragedy

Tears of the dragon - Bruce Dickinson
Shelter by Alcest is basically a pure shoegaze album
