What does a horrible abomination that are the 3D Zeldas have to do with anything? They added broken gameplay mechanics like jumping in a 3D world to Zelda when they reinvented / destroyed the series by moving into 3D, totally changing the gameplay. Those broken gameply mechanics didnt exist in the tight to control 2D Zelda universe, where the controls were pretty much identical to games like IoT.

Please dont move goalposts.


I dont do goal posts - I'm not a rabbid fan who squabbles about sales numbers, make defensive posts for their favorite company and worship about corporate suits as if they are an idol.

The only Zelda game that was remotely a RPG was Zelda II on the NES.

If you want a clearer explanation then read this: http://seanmalstrom.wordpress.com/2011/05/24/does-nintendo-actually-believe-zelda-is-an-rpg/

I'm not sure what your wikipedia is , but the only zelda game that is on the english wiki that is stated as a RPG is Zelda II like I mentioned earlier in this post.

But like I said, if you want to believe Zelda is a RPG that is the same as games like Kingdom Hearts, Soul Blazer Trilogy, Mana series - you have the freedom to do so - just that your wrong because - just having RPG elements such as upgradeable health does not make it an RPG.

 

I am not saying Zelda is an RPG, I am saying it is an Action Adventure. I am also saying that Allundra, IoT, Terranigma, SoM are all Action Adventures, all with some RPG elements.
