Zelda as a series takes the best elements of RPGs, does those things much better than almost every actual JRPG by making everything fully integrated into the world (no separate 'battle system' nonsense), making the worlds highly interactive and dynamic and able to change and react to everything you do, allowing you to discover things that uniquely change what your abilities are, and just generally being incredibly immersive and making used of creative and original kinds of storytelling, and does this whlie throwing away most of the things that suck about RPGs, like all the grindy non-interactive garbage and meaningless fluff mechanics that waste your time.
A 'Zelda RPG' would be completely pointless because it would be just like a shittier version of what Zelda normally is, with no advantages because JRPGs rarely have interesting, strategic combat or anything that isn't essentially overcome by getting more powerful and in combat abilities can't be used consistently outside of that.

Heart Containers are a great example of something Zelda handles in a way that is flat out superior to what RPGs normally do. Having to do unique things to gain power and life beats grinding in every possible way.
