It's an adventure game because you mostly explore.
It's an RPG because things like going to shops to buy items and getting upgrades.
It's an adventure game for other reasons. (Specify)

Is Zelda an RPG or an Adventure Game?
What do you think? Is Zelda an RPG or an adventure game?
I say it's an adventure game. I say this because it really focusses more on adventuring rather than the usual RPG Elements. It does have a few RPG elements (like going to shops to buy potions), but really, the RPG elements it has aren't enough to call it an RPG. (Or at least I think so.)
How's abouts you?

Adventure. There are RPG elements, but there so minor I dont think they make Zelda an RPG.
The second Zelda on the NES was the only one that came close to an RPG. All of the rest are all adventure games. There's no discussion.

Boy am I an unfunny ass.
It depends on which Zelda game you are talking about. Most of the older games can definitely be argued as RPG's, but as far as Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, or even Wind Waker are concerned, Zelda is an
ACTION ADVENTURE.

I'd certainly classify it as an adventure game, but people who like to be picky can say that's it's an RPG because you it is a "Role-playing" game. Still, though, that applies to the vast majority of games out there, and the term RPG usually applies to your conventional Role-playing games like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. Zelda II is the only one that really had any strong RPG elements.
Adventure.
the only sorta role play element is that you play this elvan dude called link.
An Adventure with RPG elements. nuff said
Like I said above, I wouldn't classify Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, or Wind Waker as PURE adventure, but rather ACTION ADVENTURE. Pure adventure games, such as the Gabriel Knight series, Leisure Suit Larry, King's Quest series (not MOE), are quite rare, if not totally unexistent these days. (Actually, I think the last official PURE adventure game was Gabriel Knight 3).
Besides the Zelda titles mentioned above, those that were originally released on NES or SNES were more RPG than adventure. Just wanted to add this. Fo Sho!

Adventure game. I would classify a genuine RPG as a game that relies on numerical calculations, strategy and level ehancment to govern it's basic battle system. Buying items and upgrading some equipment in your inventory hardly makes a game an RPG, at least not in my view.
*votes for the first option*
If you want to be fussy, those kind of games are technically referred to as Point & Click games. A basic "Adventure" game is one where you lead your character around your enviroment, completing whatever tasks the game sets forth for you. Essentially what all the Zelda games have been, right from their conception.

Officially its an Andventure Game. I really don't know why but I consider it and RPG, it just felt like one to me. But officially it is and adventure game.
Adventure. We've covered this before. No room for argument, really.
Definitely an adventure. The combat system is real-time, and isn't based on hit points and other statistics in the way RPGs are. Aside from acquiring new items that enhance your capabilities, there's nothing close to levelling up, either. There are a couple of role-playing elements in there, and the quest itself tends to be very traditional RPG fare, but the game itself is undoubtedly an adventure.
