Holy crap I knew this would come up. In my personal opinion it is just a adventure game, others will probably disagree.

It's an action adventure, yeah. There's nothing that makes it an RPG except that it has a fantasy setting with dungeons. As loosely defined as the RPG genre is, Zelda has no statbuilding beyond increasing the life gauge, no equipment system other than new, unique weapons, very little in the way of sidequests, battles are action-based on skill and not dicerolls, no complex overarching plot. If Zelda is an RPG, then so is Metroid.
