Overview
- Nintendo's store listing confirms the Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake will include variable refresh rate (VRR) when played in the docked mode.
- VRR syncs the console's output to a TV's refresh rate to cut screen tearing and stutter by matching frame timing to the display's refresh rate.
- The Switch 2 gained platform-level docked VRR support in firmware version 23.0.0, which also added console transfers, GameChat tweaks, and Mii editor changes.
- Actual use of docked VRR will depend on updated dock firmware from Nintendo and explicit per-title enabling or patches from developers, so players may not see the benefit immediately.
- Players will also need a VRR-capable TV or monitor to get the smoother output, and the remake's eShop note makes it one of the first titles publicly listed to support docked VRR ahead of its November release.
