^ Ok. I don't wanna get into an argument regarding genres. Zelda is a cross between action/adventure and RPG. The focus of Zelda is more towards dungeons and items.
Take Crystalis for example. Crystalis and games like Star Tropics are kinda like Zelda but they are labelled Action-RPGs generally. Zelda is not an RPG according to the many arguments here on gamefaqs but I'd go on to say Zelda is only a few distance short of being called an RPG.
All in all call FFA whatever you'd like... RPG, Adventure, Action but the Mana games are generally considered as RPGs. Dawn of Mana is the only Mana game (which I've played) which has more of a Zelda feel than the rest.
Let me make this clear this topic is gonna contain all sorts of different types of RPG
i.e
Menu/Turn Based RPGs - Duh!
Real-Time Action Based RPGs
Action RPGs
Strategy RPGs
got more?
