Anyone who calls Zelda and rpg is trolling and you have taken the bait so bad that you made a thread about it.

RPG = Role Playing Game
You play the role of Zelda, therefore it is an RPG game.

This somehow means the final complete game was inspired.

Diablo 1 sends you straight to the game over screen if you die in singleplayer mode.

>> No.5694180

what? never.
when you die in hardcore, it will say something of your deeds being remembered and when you die normally it will ask you to continue and the amount of gold you've lost before respawning you

BOTW has some vague RPG elements

>> No.5694210

>>5694180
it doesn't let you continue, only load the last save state

A lot of it was built originally like a roguelike, just that they decided to change it from a turnbased game to a real time game.
It's different from roguelikes in its final form, but there's a bunch of it in its DNA.

diablo 1 is already on hardcore. You die, it's over. You're thinking about diablo 2
