I consider the Zelda series a rpg you gain stats/lvls by hearts and items, and there are mini quests. The only thing it doesn't have that makes it an rpg is character customization and role taking.

You take on the role of Link. The only thing that really seperates it from games people do identify as RPGs is levels. I just can't understand how people can claime Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 6, and Final Fantasy Tactics are all RPGs but Zelda games are action/adventure. Any story driven game where you assume the role of a character and make things happen is an RPG in my book. Glad I am not alone on this board at least.

 That implies that action/adventures have no story, which is not the case, imo.
