I would say yes. Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Darksiders are also RPG's imo.

Those are all RPGs, but Zelda isn't. The first two are dungeon crawlers with RPG elements, and the latter is a hack n slash game with RPG elements. Zelda is literally just an action adventure game. No RPG elements at all.

They are all action rpg's except Darksiders. Darksiders is like god of war or devil may cry. Those are action adventure. Zelda is no different than the souls series. It has the same elements. The creator of the zelda games even calls 'em a rpg.
