Those are some RPG elements typical in most RPG's in zelda games and there's enough there for it to be considered a action rpg. I'm trying to have a sensible discussion with ya and you're bring up games that have nothing to do with this. "Metroid is a rpg. donkey kong tropical breeze is a rpg. GTA games are rpg's." We're discussing RPG's and not nintendo's line up.

If Zelda is an rpg, Metroid is as well. You can't have one without the other.

Zelda is not an rpg and never will be. The makers consider it an action adventure. The reason why it has things in common with an action rpg is because those games both have action elements.

In any rpg you increase your hp by getting experience through battles. You can grind how much you want in a Zelda game, it won't increase your hearts.

The reason I'm bringing up other games is to show you how ridiculous it is by stating those elements are only found in rpgs.

It might help in this discussion if you ever played a game I brought up. But you clearly haven't considering you can't even get the names of the games right. Tropical Breeze? Really?

Who said I got the names wrong. They're irrelevant in this and hence I don't bother with 'em. You're not bringing up any games that are similar to zelda but are not rpg's to make your point. Just Metroid. Metroid again. Metroid.... How about shadow of the colossus? You ever play it? I easily consider that an action adventure game. Compare the differences between that and zelda.
