It's always weird to me how the Zelda games get held up as RPGs or put to the scrutiny of RPGs. The original Zelda game wasn't even close to an RPG, and the only reason people associate Zelda with RPGs is because as time progressed the only games with the production values of Zelda games that had a similar setting were RPGs. Even that is a bad comparison though, because Zelda started the idea of having an action game in 3D with a lock on mechanic in Ocarina of Time, it wasn't copying RPGs it was doing something original. Basically the only reason people associate Zelda with RPGs, is because similar adventure games just regressed to the point of obscurity. If there were more games like Zelda, people wouldn't grasp at straws for the term "RPG".
