Does The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Run at 60 FPS on Anbernic RG40XX H?
No — avoid buying the Anbernic RG40XX H specifically for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The Anbernic RG40XX H uses the budget Allwinner H700 / ARM Cortex-A53 Budget Tier (Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1.5GHz), which is designed for PS1, GBA, SNES, N64, and Dreamcast—not Switch. If playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at full speed is your priority, step up to the Retroid Pocket 5 ($219).
