Action RPG = action games (hack n' slash, platforms, etc) coupled with RPG elements (HP, experience points, upgrade weapons/armors, etc). Zelda, LoM, SoM, and many others fall into this category.
Does that make stuff like Castlevania SOTN and Super Metroid fall into the Action RPG genre? I dunno, I always considered them, I don't know, more like "freestyle platform" - basically a platform action, but with freedom to go back to previously explored areas etc.
