In the course of my career as a vidcon specialist (my own coinage, spend it wisely), I have never seen such blatant and frankly sickening ignorance as that exhibited by the "people" (if, in fact, they are homosexual sapiens at all, as their intelligence implies elsewise) that claim that Zelda is not an RPG.
There is nothing that Shigeru "Shiggy" Miyamoto could possibly do to make the vidcon any more of an RPG as it meets every single criterion for being one, particularly that it takes place in an imaginary realm with a fantastical beastiary, the damsel villain ratio is at or above standards, and that the core emphasis of the gameplay is on bedazzling all foes with impeccable swords and sorcery. Furthermore, this line of thought can be extended to all vidcons in which the player controls a character (hence, roleplaying), though I cringe slightly at the thought of such mundane vidcons as Madden being RPGs, as they do not even include exotic weaponry such as the tonfa.

So did these come from a specific forum or were they written based on people the devs knew?
you gatdam baka
I think the ones with "vidcon" in them were completely made up, the "haterade" one praising FFX is an actual forum post from somewhere and the long rant complaining about the others is from someone who test played the game.
Ok I lold at this one. Zelda 2 is in fact an action RPG though
Action adventure. There is no roleplay.

Meanwhile Miyamoto himself said:
>I noticed you didn’t say ‘RPG’.
>Miyamoto: The Zelda series has never used the word “RPG”. The way I see it, there are some light RPG elements to Zelda—like the fact that your character grows in power as the game progresses—but that’s it. If we expanded on those elements, my sense is that it would be taking the game in the wrong direction.

I really do think genres should be thought of less in terms of qualities of the game itself, and more as a combination of the games that inspired it.
So, like with evolutionary trees you look at common ancestors for classification rather than high-level appearences.
I don't know.
I mean sure Miyamoto's on record as saying the original Zelda was inspired by Ultima and Wizardry (actually it was Black Onyx, a Japanese only Wizardry clone rather than Wizardry itself) and those 2 games are the original CRPGs. But Miyamoto also said in the same interview that he didn't actually like the moment-to-moment gameplay in either of those (which in both cases was turn-based, stat-based and with dice rolls like a computer-automated tabletop RPG) and decided to go in a different direction. Hang on, I'll try to find that interview.
Why my peanus weenus of course 🙂
i'd roleplay a game with your peanus weenus ( ͡°⁄ ⁄ ͜⁄ ⁄ʖ⁄ ⁄ ͡°)
or are you saying your peanus weenus is a rocket propelled grenade? (つ ͡ꈍ ͜ʖ̫ ͡ꈍ )

Legend of Zelda is a bird's-eye-vania
Ahhh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them), the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons have driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to tempt your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic. And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.

This part made me think for a second that I was recognizing this copypasta from an Icycalm essay
Errmm what the spruce?
>Pasta from the master chef
>In the course of my career as a vidcon specialist (my own coinage, spend it wisely)
if Zelda is an RPG, then what am I supposed to call games that are actual RPGs? True RPGs?
