[[File:EFrS03DVUAEk kD.jpeg|thumb|220x220px]]'''Daylight Savings Time Abuse''', often abbreviated as '''DSTA''' or sometimes '''DST Abuse''', is a speedrunning trick that abuses the way the Nintendo Switch's system clock handles [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time daylight saving time] (DST) 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 DST functionality is built into the Switch's operating system, rather than implemented through Internet connectivity, setting the system's clock to the time ~~and date~~ when DST takes place will cause the system's clock to jump forward an hour. This can be timed so that it causes a seed to grow instantly, since the game thinks an hour has elapsed since the seed was planted.

Daylight Savings Time Abuse can be applied to any seed moon in the game, although it is usually used for the ''Desert Gardening: Plaza Seed'' moon in [[Tostarena Town]], since this is the place where it is easiest and saves the most time.

It can also be used to grow a seed in the [[Metro Kingdom]], but the route change is much more difficult. Theoretically, seeds can be harvested quickly in both kingdoms using [[Network System Clock Abuse]].

Without DSTA, 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 (Exception being the long plant in Seaside Kingdom)
