Argument over wether Zelda is an RPG.
ANIME OVERLOAD
Fucking hell, the vast majority of the people in that thread are raging dipshits. Quotes like "OMFG ZELDA IS RPG CUZ U PLAY A ROLE LOL!!1!1!" were more plentiful than they are at the ESF. Some of the best quotes:
Just stick to your every day rpg.. and leave these puzzle RPG's to the adults.
link was saving the world when cloud was still sucking on his momma's tit!Zelda was the first true RPG of its time and its still going strong so all you fucks who diss it suck balls!
ZELDA IS THE BEST RPG IN THE WORLD
Alright tards lemme smack you up a bit. RPG - ROLE PLAYING GAME as Link you are playing a role! There is a huge storyline that involve all the real gamers in the world. There are choices you can chose in what order to do the missions in, and you can chse what to do like go fish or hunt or ride your hores or play the game which you will eventually have to do yes but you can CHOOSE when to do it and what to do while doing it. RPGs don't need hit points to make them an RPG just like the don't ghave to be turn based. Morrowid is an RPG and it doesn't have hit points, Oblivian is an RPG and it dosen't have hit points either so that provwes that Zelda is an RPG - ROLE PLAYING GAME!
There are two different kinds of RPG's. There's Eastern RPG's and Western RPG's. Eastern RPG's are the typical Final Fantasy type RPGs with parties and same storylines that are getting really, REALLY old by now.
Western RPG's are something like Diablo. Now, granted, in Diablo, you don't actually need any personal skill to fight the monsters, just maybe some tactic and strategy. So, even though Zelda has more of an action aspect to it, it still has the attributes of a Western RPG: Dungeons, Upgrades and special attirubtes, interaction with characters and running of errands. An item inventory system.
Final Fantasy is not the only kind of RPG, people.
Let me tell you about what an RPG is.
An RPG is a role playing game.
Where you play a role.
As such, all games are RPG's, including LoZ.
PS: There are different types of RPG. You are thinking LoZ is not a Final fantasy style RPG. It isn't, but that doesnt mean its not an RPG.
