According to the link in my previous post, all these count as action/adventure:
Assassin's Creed‎, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Beyond Good & Evil, Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure, Castlevania, Destroy All Humans!, Devil May Cry, Grand Theft Auto, Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Zelda, Lego Island, Metroid, No More Heroes, Ōkami, Prince of Persia, Prototype, Scribblenauts, Shadow of the Colossus, Soul Reaver, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, StarTropics, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell , Tomb Radier, and Uncharted.

What do they all have in common? Not a lot. "Action/Adventure" is just a catch-all term.

Zelda is not an RPG. Zelda is not even a video game. Nor is it art.

To you, not to the fans of it like me(no one was saying it was a rpg though ha ha at least I wasn't). Everyone has their own opinion though :?

I think Twilight Princess was a beautiful looking game. Also, WindWaker would technically be considered art because everything was hand drawn, no? :mrgreen:
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)

Can I assume you're being facetious?

SO we have broad generic set genres. How dare we create another one for games that are obviously trying for something different! :x

dude, act right. the original post listed the following "genres":
BahamianGamer wrote:- Black Box NES games (including Kid Icarus, Metroid and Rad Racer)
- Disney Capcom games
- All 6 Mega Man games
a platformer developed by Capcom that features Mickey Mouse isn't a "genre," and neither is an NES title (sports, puzzle, platformer) that happens to come in a black box.

Is Zelda even real?

I'm not sure it is.

I'm planning on starting collecting VN/Point and Click type games for the DS. Any recommendations outside of the Phoenix Wright Series, Cape West and 999?
