Is Zelda an RPG?

Oracle of Seasons
Minish Cap
Four Swords
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
Windwaker
Am I missing any? Remakes don't count....
A friend and I got into an argument and I figure a Poll on an RPG forum would prove who is right. I will not say what I believe until a few replies are made.

It's an Adventure/RPG series.
If you were to put into either Adventure or RPG though. Or better put, which is it more of? And adventure series or an RPG series?

Adventure/RPG is a type of RPG. Just like Heavy Metal is a type of metal music. There's also Black Metal, Death metal Thrash Metal, etc... So like there's Traditional RPG, MMORPG, Text RPG, Freeform RPG, etc... There is no solid form of RPG. So unless you're comparing it to a type of RPG, you'll have to explain you're situation.
Its half-'n'-half even though I still put no
More adventure than RPG but still an RPG.
It's definately more of an action/adventure game to me. I never really saw it as a RPG.

Zelda is an adventure game. Metroid has more RPG elements than Zelda.

Action adventure, as GameFAQs calls it, though Zelda 2 was very RPG-esque since you could actually level up and all.
Yeah, I'd say it's more action adventure than RPG.

People only think it's an RPG because it has swords, and a medievily story. If you asked anyone if Resident Evil was a survival horror RPG or survival horror adventure, they would mostly say adventure.
What do you mean survival horror?
I always thought it was a dating simulator, I mean, those zombies always seem to be going for the full 100% on Jill.
Its an adventure game which just happens to have... *SHOCK* A storyline!?!
Well RPG really stands for "Role-Playing-Game," so any game in which you take on a role could technically be considered an RPG. That being said, however, gamers generally refer to RPGs as games with elaborate storylines that take precedent over gameplay, turn-based battles, world maps, etc. I would personally consider Zelda an adventure game, but you could call it an Action-RPG.
Nah.
