Nice attampt, but all of those you get by advancing through the story line. Like in adventure games, you get a key to open a new door. The combat is also disturbingly weak in Zelda for it to be called an Action RPG, for its own sake don't ever classify it as such because then it is a miserable and utter failure.

 

it's not an attempt, it's a fact, that's how all JRPGs work in general, just with a twist. maybe you are more acustomed to WRPGs so you can't see that.

 

JRPGs are not RPGs, I've been saying that forever. They are a mix between a Turn Based Strategy and an Adventure game. Zelda is heavily story drive, you have absolutely no decision in your choices of abilities/equipment. Just put on the better sword/armor when you reach that milestone in the adventure.

 

I can understand where you are coming from, but I also know that the idea of role playing is not the same when you are talking about western people and eastern, but the genres do exist whether you like it or not, and facts will remain facts, depending on your religion(aka beliefs) I guess, know what I mean?

 

Yeah I do, but then by your definition DOOM was also an RPG. You got better equipment and power-ups, and you could also say that it has a nice story to go through and combat involved. You also need to collect items to advance through the game. Given all this how is DOOM not an RPG by your definition?
