I'm pretty sure that "action" is about movement and attack variety, while "adventure" is about exploration and puzzle-solving. Zelda 1 was lacking in action, but its sense of adventure kept me playing for several hours.Haru17 said:UUUUGGGGHHHHH. Don't tell me about adventure. Adventure is having more than four directions of movement and one attack animation.
But a hearty helping of both action and adventure is great. The upcoming Legend of Zelda game on Wii U seems to do that, so I have high hopes for it.
