LOL? I think you are confusing point and click adventure with the full adventure genre.

 

I think you are confusing Action-adventure with Adventure. Okami and Zelda are definitely NOT Adventure games.

 

From wikipedia

"An adventure game is a type of computer entertainment program or video game, characterized by investigation, exploration, puzzle-solving, interaction with game characters, and a focus on narrative rather than reflex-based challenges"

I believe twilight princess  metroid prime 3 and okami have those requierements. Anyway these are really sub-genres of the adventure genres. It still and adventure game, but its also an action adventure. Just like there are wrpgs and jrpgs.

Edit:

Also here is more " Games that fuse adventure elements with action gameplay elements are sometimes referred to as adventure games (a popular example is Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series)."
