A lot of people think Zelda is an RPG when its an action adventure game. The only Zelda game that was an RPG was Zelda 2: The adventure of Link. Just because its a fantasy game and you go on a quest doesn't make it an RPG. After all missions are the same as quest, we use the word mission instead of quests in games that take place in the modern age.
Mission-a group or committee of persons sent to a foreign country to conduct negotiations, establish relations, provide scientific and technical assistance, or the like.(Modern day quest)
Quest-a search or pursuit made in order to find or obtain something: a quest for uranium mines; a quest for knowledge.(olden time mission)
MW1 can be an RPG because you go on missions to stop people from starting a war. While in Zelda you go on a quest to stop Ganondorf from destroying Hyrule. Both are action games but Zelda is an Action adventure and MW1 is an Action FPS. If you call all adventure game RPGs than Uncharated is an RPG.
In order for a game to be an RPG it need a levels system and you create a team or character to use any way you want to, to use in the game,=(Pokemon is the prime example what makes an RPG). If Zelda was an RPG you would be able to level up and get skill points to make your self stronger. But you only get new weapons to use.
EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
With the defense MO failing, many players think that a change in how these missions work is called for.
Actually COD online is an RPG. Level up character, guns, get new guns, perks, kill streaks. Wish they would make a RPG Zelda game though, one that still has a big focus on story. Not grinding around for the sake of leveling up.
Zelda has been, since it's inception, categorized as an 'Action-RPG'.
You are a part of an epic story, usually with a certain degree of open-world. You acquire items and grow in power/ability. RPG's, like Zelda games, are also often story-heavy.
The 'action' part of Zelda is a result of real-time combat in contrast to the traditional turn-based RPG mechanic. There is also no leveling or statistics in Zelda games, this lending itself to a more 'action-oriented' RPG.
It's interesting you're challenging the definition of conventional genres. We definitely need that with the growing diversity and genre-hybrid games we've seen in the last 5-7 years.
The Legend of Zelda series was originally an RPG hybrid, much like Mass Effect and Dark Souls are part RPG, part action game. It was meant to require the twitch-based skills of an arcade game (go ahead and try to beat the original LoZ playing it like a turn-based RPG) but the exploration and leveling-up of a computer RPG.
Nowadays, it's mostly just a puzzle collection, but in the past it had the same exploration and freedom that RPGs have.
An RPG is not just categorized and defined by the western culture, keep in mind Bethesda's games, or old Bioware/blizzard games might seem a more pure kind of RPG just because they mimic the book kind of classic RPG better, but you see, Videogames themselves have expanded the definition of the genre.
I'll say it again; Videogames have expanded the definition of the genre,FF is an RPG, PS1's Alundra or Vagrant Story were two very different examples of Action RPGs, etc.
The way I see it, BakedGoods nailed it: The basic premises are an evolving character, a long and complex storyline, a fantastic and flexible context, and NPC's.
I might be wrong, then again, I think your point is debatable.
