"Roguelike" is nowadays commonly defined by having a meta progression system (unlocks). Scroll through reviews of a game like Noita or DCSS (Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup) and you will see some people complaining the game doesn't have (enough) permanent unlocks.

I have no idea why you were down voted. Most folks I know who play roguelikes would agree with you.

Bullshit. That could put Zelda in the Roguelike genre while being just an action-adventure one.

My favorite part of Zelda games are the procedural dungeons, permanent death.
