Does the 3-D GTA's and the Zelda games have the same gameplay?

I think so, but the format's different. GTA is mission-based and you can wreck havoc, Zelda's more dungeon based so that you can search for more weapons, and there's bosses.

Ahahahaha-- the GTA series is so massivley inferior to Zelda in terms of Gameplay I could laugh myself stupid.

EDIT -- and if I recall, they're both different genres. Zelda being an action-RPG and GTA being... God knows what.

I don't see how you can make the comparison, honesty. The only similarities I see are the camera angle, and, in the 3D Zeldas, an ability to ride... something.

I've played very little Zelda. I wouldn't know.

Well, the control scheme's are markedly different, of course; that's part of the deal when you get the big differences between the N64/GCN controllers and the Dual Shock. Additionally, there are some things in the 3D GTAs (e.g. sprinting and push-button jumping) that aren't in the 3D Zeldas. There are some similarities, however--for instance, both series feature lock-on modes, first-person aiming, and strafing during combat.

In terms of the style of play, there are obvious differences. I mean, as I see it, the goal in GTA is to survive, whereas in Zelda the goal is to win. People die a lot more easily in GTA than in Zelda; a few bullets will take out just about anybody, whether it's the main character or the bad guy, so a large part of the challenge is in avoiding damage. On the flipside, characters in Zelda are a lot harder to kill, so the focus is less on avoiding damage and more on doling it out in abundance.
