"Is Zelda an RPG?"

This is for all you goons to decide.

Im starting off by saying: Zelda is an RPG and it is also an Adventure/Action game.

Let the arguing Begin!

Whats that you said earlier, you never post the exact same thing twice???!

And if i remember correctly, which i do, you made quite the scene out of it.

HAHAHA, you are a fool

I've always seen it like this, disagree if you wish.

There are hundreds of genres, Platformers, Adventures, real time RPG's, turn based RPG's, Platformers, Real time stratagys, football games, Basketball, survival horrors, fun racers, realistic racers, futuristic racrers, first person shooters, Extreme sports, third person shooters... etc... etc...

All of these are what I like to call sub-genres, they all fit under certain larger catagories:

Shooting games, Sport games, racing games, role play games, stratagy games.

Adventure and platform games come under RPG.

That's how I see it.

Well look at it this way, what is needed for a game to become a Role playing game? I have no idea myself but maybe some of you may know.
Then compare it to Zelda and see if it has most of these qualities.

(Adventure + RPG) + RPG, which would give you a game comprised of Adventure + RPG + RPG[squared]

Which it blatantly isn’t, given that it has minimal RPG-ness about it.

Ergo, it’s an Adventure.

Indeed.

1) Does it really matter anyway?

2) NGC or NOM will tell you.

3) I'm bored of this now.

If any of you argue about this it will be literally the saddest thing ever.

This is for all you goons to decide.
