A pretty big debate in the Zelda fanbase, is Zelda an RPG?

Personally I don't think it is, it doesn't really fit any of qualifications of an RPG

It really falls more into the Action-Adventure genre more than anything

Do people assume it is because it has magic?

What do you think? 

An action adventure game, with well made puzzles and dungeons. Skyward sword and zelda 2 have some rpg elements like upgrades. Zelda is not a typical action adventure game tho, that's why there are "games like zelda"
