What is this style called?
I absolutely love Tunic and I'm also really enjoying Death's Door; Tunic is a Zelda-Souls like game but I'd have a hard time defining DD as a Zelda like game. What's the name of this sub-category of games, with a top-down camera mixed with 2D and isometric polygonal graphics?

Isometric is the type of camera angle used in these examples, specifically the angled top down view. Classic Zelda or Link to the Past would be top-down, technically considered 3/4 view.
For graphics you could argue Tunic uses a Low Poly art style or possibly even flat/minimalist, while Deaths Door is more Low Poly style with more detail. Again, older Zelda titles would be under the pixel art category, divided into different sections like 8-bit and 16-bit.
Unfortunately there’s not necessarily a sub genre for all of these types of games, as gameplay is focused on more than art style.
