It's a distinction best characterized with Zelda.
You take the role of Link and play through a story. In the loosest (or strictest depending on your POV) definition of RPG, Legend of Zelda games are RPGs.
However despite that, they have always been characterized as adventure games. Not adventure/RPG, only adventure.
I don't really care what the label on a game is as the game will speak for itself, but mislabeling things early on can lead to a lot of confusion later. Everyone has their own opinion on what an RPG is and their own expectations on what the gameplay in an RPG will be like. I'd much rather not expect one thing only to find out something different later.
