I have the same problem, not because it's violent but because my parents think I'm addicted. Tell them Zelda is not a violent game, but a game that you use your brain to think creatively. It also gets you some exercise, and makes you all sweaty. The game is rated 10 and up, so I don't think violence is a big issue, but if it is, take my word that Zelda is a fun game, that even my 4 year old brother enjoys.
Best of luck, doc360
