It's the truth. Madden is an RPG. Your visual novels are RPGs (although you might call them RPN - Role-Playing Novels). Mario Kart is an RPG.
Everything is an RPG.
Then please enlighten me with the proper term I should be using when I would normally like to use "RPG".
Keep using RPG. You're using it correctly. No reason to change.

Zelda isn't an RPG.
A role-playing game (RPG and sometimes roleplaying game[1][2]) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting or through a process of structured decision-making or character development.[3] Actions taken within many games succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines.[4]
You assume the role of Link and take responsibility for his development and consequences from your decision making.
What decisions can be made in Zelda?
You can go up, down, left, right, in the mountains, through the desert, the order of the 4 beasts is your choice...it goes on and on and on. No different from D&D, a.k.a the "original RPG" (or at least the one most commonly associated with the term, RPG).
Wait so in your eyes any open world game is an RPG? I guess the GTA series is my favorite RPG then. ---
