Go look at NES rpg games versus other NES games. Just please. Those elements came from rpg's but since it's been used so much in other genres, people have gotten confused over time or they are just young enough to not be aware of where those elements came from.  

You say this as if the NES was the first generation of video games or that it is the only platform in existence then. But I'll humor you.

In Kid Icarus (Genre: Action-Platformer) you could trade hearts for items from the gods, you have gear in the form of Arrow of Strength, Fire Arrow, Protective Crystal, and Sacred Bow.  Like the original Legend of Zelda, there are no towns, but there are specific areas where you interact with NPC's such as: hospitals, stores, and sacred chambers. 

Cherry picked that one did you. Look at the rpgs then and the other games. Seriously.
