Actually even in the mainstream industry Legend of Zelda is considered a form of RPG. It's not in the traditional sense with turn-based combats, but it is considered what's generally referred to as an Action/RPG or Adventure/RPG. And when you look on a lot of gaming sites the RPG section is where you'll often find the Zelda games listed. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza. Only Khlav Kalash. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan Strunk" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; "'Gamers Discussion list'" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 15, 2010 9:37 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] The future of Blastbay Studios > Thomas, > > I'm no stranger to RPG's, and I fully realize that there is a difference > between Final Fantasy (you'll never sell me on Zelda being an RPG) and a > rogue-like such as Entombed.
