Zelda 1 came out before Dragon Quest. Its inspiration would be more likely to come from Namco's Tower of Druaga just like Super Mario Bros was Miyamoto's take on Pac-Land.
Hell those fuckers straight up took the Wizzrobe enemy from that game.

Its an RPG in the sense that you play the role of link and gain weapons and health/magic upgrades as you continue your questjust like dark souls
JRPG's have stat advancements
Henry Myers
The Darknuts are also based on the knight enemies from Druaga where you need to attack them from a specific side not covered by their shield
Julian Murphy
It's a Metroidvania.
Gabriel Martinez
You 'avin a giggle, mate?
Sebastian Watson
he's right though, it's top down perspective but it's metroidvania gameplay
Alexander Brooks
a link to the past is a puzzle and exploration game for retards with bad combat mechanics
i dropped it when i was a kid and i find it hard to play for the same reasons now
play secret of mana for better combat
play lufia 2 for better rpg elements
play a point and click adventure for better puzzles
song of storms is cool though
Landon Butler

In call of duty you play the role of a soldier, CoD is an RPG confirmed
Charles Jones
Zelda 2 is the only one that's an RPG.
Nathan Gonzalez
Video games genres are stupid because of how nebulous and overlapping they are.
Cameron Fisher
It's only an RPG if it seeks to give you a table top like experience similar to DND. Zelda has always been an adventure game with some RPG elements.
Justin Morales
"Role playing game" Is the worst name for a genre ever conceived, prove me wrong.
