Nintendo - Is Zelda an RPG? - View Post

RPG stands for Role Playing game. You're playing a character. Zelda is a RPG. Unless you want to have a subcategory of Role Stat building Playing Game.

The definition of a role playing game is NOT "playing a character." It is a game whose basis lies primarily in the gameplay mechanics of pen and paper role playing games.

Zelda is an action adventure. Zelda 2 uses some version of RPG mechanics, but is still much more of an action adventure title.

Bottom line: Zelda is most certainly not an RPG, it is an action adventure. Zelda is the definitive action adventure.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
