[[File:EFrS03DVUAEk kD.jpeg|thumb|220x220px]]Daylight Saving Time Abuse, often abbreviated as DST Abuse or simply DSTA, is a trick that abuses the Nintendo Switch's system clock to harvest a time-dependent seed early for an extra Power Moon. This trick is primarily used in the [[Any%]] category, but it can apply to other categories as well.

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.

Daylight Savings Time Abuse can be applied to any seed moon in the game though the term Daylight Savings Time Abuse is normally used to refer to the moon ''Desert Gardening: Plaza Seed. ''This is due to the fact that ''Desert Gardening: Plaza Seed ''is the only example of Daylight Savings Time Abuse being implemented in [[Any%]].

Without Daylight Savings Time Abuse, the time that it takes for a seed to grow varies depending on the size of the full grown plant. That being said, a seed takes anywhere between 15 and 24 minutes to grow

Here is an explanation of how to reproduce this trick in an [[Any%]] speedrunning context:
