Since when Twilight Princess was considered a RPG?

Its certainly not a dragon age, oblivion, or diablo.....but back in the day it was zelda and castlvania. Mostly because there was options in gameplay like side quests, different equipable weapons and a deeper story than the average game. It certainly set the marker for future games like listed above.

[QUOTE="AlmightyDerek"] Zelda II pretty much was. Every other Zelda is an action RPG though. Zelda does have things in common with RPGs though and that's probably what he meant. For RPGs he's probably better off playing the DS. Since the SNES Nintendo consoles haven't really been known for RPGs.punchacku

[QUOTE="punchacku"][QUOTE="jasonharris48"] Aside from Zelda 2 (to some extent) I've never considered the Zelda franchise a RPG franchise. The franchise always seemed and played like Action Adventure games that may feature light RPG elements.

[QUOTE="punchacku"] Thats my point. Its a mix. A precursor to other games....many of which are modern day rpgs. punchacku

Your comparing it by just todays standards.Which is unfair.What about in the 1980s? It's just as much a action adventure as it is a rpg.

What is the best RPG on the Wii other than Zelda?thomasward00

Your choices:

Arc Rise Fantasia

Phantom Brave: We Meet Again

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Rune Factory Frontier

Little King's Story

Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers

Zelda is considered a rpg its also a action adventure game as well. so your all right lol. There that settles it hope everyone is happy. Look above me for rpgs cuz that guy got pretty much all of them.

Definition and an accurate one.

Zelda is not a RPG.

Now, there's Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, the only RPG I've played on Wii.

Ignoring the facts and their relevence makes you wrong if you think zelda is nota rpg. God of war is a action adventure....tomb raider, rayman, mario. Zelda is more than that.

Try Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn. Its a turned based strategy though

TPs not even close to an RPG, hit up the VC for some great RPGs on the wii or buy a DS

Just no, Zelda isn't an RPG, nor Mario is an Action-Adventure game, you have some serious problem with genres definitions.

I guess no ones ever heard of action rpgs before because thats what Zelda is. EDIT: Oh wait yea its not a action rpg or a rpg you all are right its lacking a character stat system and a level up system. EDIT: its a action adventure game with small rpg elements but missing the key elements which make it a rpg.

Are you trying to imply that MH3 is not a rpg? RPGs do not have to be turn based.

I have no clue bro im not even gonna try to act like i know. I just play games is all i know and i only own a wii console. Monster hunter is a great game no matter what genre it is and im happy to have it on the wii. I thought the new rabbids game was like rabbids go home and it a party game shows how much i follow. Thats just a + for gamespot wii forums as i would have bought the game then thrown it out the window for it being a party game. Edit: and another thing moving crap in a signature gets annoying to look at every time. EDIT: Conduit 2 is a FPS game *Pats himself on the back*.

I dunno if I would classify Zelda as an RPG so much as an Action-Adventure game. If you're looking for good RPGs, I would go with the 360-- Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Final Fantasy XIII are all good. I've also heard Lost Odyssey and Star Ocean: The Last Hope are good.

RPG's I loved:

Rune Factory Frontier

Fragile Dreams

Great ones:

Little King's Story

Barogue

Shiren the wanderer

others are:

Phantom Brave

Valhalla Knights

Sakura Wars

Arc Rise Fantasia

Tales of Synphonia

Zelda isn't an RPG. Little King's Story is my favorite Wii RPG.OreoMilkshake

If you like Zelda check out Okami. I personally liked Okami much, MUCH more than TP.

I have always been under the impression that turn based combat was more for "Strategy Games" not role playing. I think rpgs are about being immersed in deep world with some options but also a great story where you really feel like the character. For instance in most zelda games he his not named link but the hero of legend among the other characters. Just b/c it doesn't have stats and it is not turn based combat does not mean it can't be a action adventure "rpg". The term is not reserved only for certain games to which you approve of but is used to correctly categorize the details of a video games plot line, game play, and presentation. Some of which are most definitely rpg elements, not strategy, and not action adventure. Rpg.
