Is Fable II really an RPG?

[Torillian]

But the argument for Fable being an RPG is the choices you make affecting who you become and the environment around you. You can't do this in Zelda, you are always Link set along a fairly straight path to saving Hyrule.

Zelda does not have the levelling system and linear storyline to define it as a JRPG, while it also doesn't have the character choice and effect on your environment that would define it as a WRPG. It just isn't an RPG.
