Legend of Zelda, RPG or not?

I'd say it's an adventure game. You can't level up, so it's not much of an RPG

As I lay in my bed and look up at the sky, I thought to myself... Where the heck is the ceiling!?

its a real-time action adventure rpg. you still get stronger as you progress and get new items.

If everyone who followed their dreams made it, we all would be famous.

Adventure -> No, leveling, No Battle system
