What's your favorite RPG game\series?

I think you could say that zelda is still an extremely basic action RPG. While it's made the transition into 3D and more or less modern graphics, the game has stayed with its roots in keeping storyline present but not really the focus. The current zelda games are pretty comparable to the original Ys games, I think, in terms of the depth of storyline.

Yeah, how many times does Zelda have to be kidnapped for them to create a better storyline?

Oh, and you should not forget Zelda 2. That game had enemies on the overworld, and coming in contact with them would take you to a separate area to kill them (and you also got actual magic spells). Still mostly an action RPG, but it is very different than most of the others (almost all of which are somewhat based on Zelda 1 (excluding the NDS Zelda games, which barely have an overworld to travel through compared to the rest of the games)).

Also, I find that most Zelda games lately barely have as much content as I would like. They are fun, but they are too short for me (another reason why I place them at third). For example, I like Zelda games with at least nine dungeons. Having four temples and a final temple is barely enough (eg. Nintendo DS games, even Wind Waker was too short, all of which play chicken with the Zelda formula).

Have a nice day.

Zelda to be kidnapped? Well, she is not kidnapped in Majora's Mask, and if I recall correctly, she is not the main focus in the Gameboy Zelda games (I think she is in the Oracle games though, but only through linked adventures). She is actually just sleeping in Zelda 2 (forget if she is kidnapped), she is not really Zelda in Wind Waker (Tetra = Zelda's descendant, not Zelda), Phantom Hourglass has her retrieved before the end (but again she is actually Tetra) and in Spirit Tracks, only her dead body is taken. She is technically already captured in Twilight Princess, and rescuing her is more or less a side-section of actually stopping Ganondorf from making the Light world a part of the Twilight realm again (and curing Midna). Now, am I missing anything else?
