It has a lot of RPG elements though, the very basic ones that make an RPG a "Role Playing" game. The main character doesn't even have a name, and you progress his equipment and health and whatnot during the game.

Calling it an action/adventure game usually implies its more linear... and implies the game is less about developing your character and "living" through the story... There's not really many action games where there are so many side quests that have nothing to do with progressing the story and everything to do with making your character stronger like Zelda.

There's just no levels and exp and cutscenes.
