Since Daylight Savings Time functionality is built into the Switch's operating system, rather than implemented through Internet connectivity, setting the system's clock to the time when Daylight Savings takes place will cause the system's clock to jump forward an hour. Daylight Savings Time Abuse takes advantage of this by using the time jump to make a seed in the Sand Kingdom grow instantly, whereas it would normally take around 20 minutes to grow fully. | Since Daylight Savings Time functionality is built into the Switch's operating system, rather than implemented through Internet connectivity, setting the system's clock to the time when Daylight Savings takes place will cause the system's clock to jump forward an hour.
