It's not an rpg. Because if Zelda is an rpg, so is Metroid.

Is there classes in many rpg's in general? Hell, most don't even let you create your own character. Zelda has enough RPG elements to be considered a rpg. It's probably the grandfather of action rpg's. 

Zelda doesn't even have one rpg element in it.

Pokémon: has different types ("classes")

Fire Emblem: has different classes

Paper Mario: has different partners with different abilities

xenoblade: has different characters with their own abilities

Bravely Default: has different "jobs" (which basically functions as classes)

Runescape: Magic beats melee, melee beats range, range beats magic

South Park: Stick of Truth: mage, warrior, thief, jew.

Those are the only rpgs I play and they all have classes (except Mario & Luigi franchise).
