Its been a while since I played botw and totk, I want to get into similar open world games with good combat systems, any recommendations?

As for platforms, I need games that aren't too intensive, my PCs are kinda weak and my consoles are a switch and an emulator that does up to GameCube/ps2

This question proves how stupid I am lol

I see a lot of MMOs being recommended, but I find them to be either shallow in combat or predatory unless you are seeking MMO specific things, so I'm going to point at single player/coop stuff.

Bethesda has a large selection of open world games, but I pretty much assume people have played all of them (Elder Scrolls / Fallout games).

If you are okay with going outside of Fantasy, the Far Cry series has some impressive technology in their older titles. Far Cry 2 is a personal favorite, your PC might be able to handle it.

Borderlands series.

The original Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen holds up. This is probably my best recommendation based on your asks.

Lego Star Wars or the Lego Marvel game.

Fable 1, 2, 3

The Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor / Shadow of War Games were pretty incredible but might be too high-end.

The first Red Dead Redemption might run for you.

Early Dark souls games might run. Maybe 1 or 2.

From here, I would start listing old Star Wars Jedi Knight series games.

I could probably go on, but this is most of the good stuff off the top of my head.

I forgot to add Mass Effect. Great for sci-fi, great leveling, and combat.

Seconding Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. I have it on GOG, it's absolutely fantastic (apparently the pawn rental system is broken on that version, but I never used it anyway). Climbing up a drake to stab it in the face has never been so satisfying! ~~and magic archer is OP~~

It's also old enough that OP's hardware shouldn't have any trouble running it at decent settings.

Edit: I just realized the GOG version is currently on sale for under $5, what are you waiting for?

Shadow of Mordor on lowest settings I managed to run on integrated graphics for a while. It's a fantastic game if you do manage to get it to run OP. Open world with enemies that really "get" you. The sequel especially is in my favorite games of all time.
