The lyrics, instrumentation and songwriting all points to hard rock and blues rock, but not metal.

Black Sabbath & Deep Purple are heavy metal. Led Zeppelin was NOT.
...Early heavy metal/metal was not like you know of it today or even in the 80's or 90's for that matter. Bands like Queen, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and Zep.

Also it was the tone and style Jimmy Page played with that contributed to the labeling of heavy metal. Typically bands start of much heavier (such as Zeppellin) then start falling more towards the hard rock category.
