Is the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time an RPG? Why or why not?

cartman · 03-09-2007, 11:40 PM

If you have to ask, then no.

Craptacular · 03-09-2007, 11:46 PM

I would say yes. I consider an RPG to be a game where you take control of a character that interacts with different elements of the world, improve your character's abilities through experience, and perhaps most importantly, play the key role in the development of a story.

FYI, I still consider Ocarina of Time my favorite game of all time.

I'm going with "action adventure." If he could jump, then maybe it would be a RPG.

No more an RPG than the Tomb Raider games.

It's a mixed genre game, it has action adventure elements and RPG elements.

No, definitely an adventure game. If it's not, what is?

SI
