As the follow-up to Breath of the Wild, it is (rather unusually) a direct sequel to that title and takes place in fundamentally the same game world. It isn't just a rehash by any means...

A TechTuber has been testing a system based upon one of NVIDIA’s newest GeForce RTX 40 Ada Lovelace graphics cards available, but driven by one of Intel’s weakest CPUs.

Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 and 3 PC remakes have taken a step back in graphical fidelity, as ray tracing has been removed from their graphical options.
