Then what do you want to call the Action-Adventure genre? It is pretty vauge, sure, but generally recently Action-Adventure usually refers to games with similarities to Tomb Raider... there are a LOT of those games yet its a hyphenated genre... so the Zelda-type genre really is hyphenated. Oh well... some are like that...
Oh, and it doesn't matter much anyway. Genre names are hardly going to change at this point so its really a pointless discussion...
As for text adventure games (or graphical ones with a textbar interface), I prefer graphical ones because text ones can get really frusterating with how you must guess what words to use next... graphical ones, with buttons, are a huge improvemement over text input, IMO.
