Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake — FSR vs DLSS Comparison on Switch 2
A YouTube hardware tester injected DLSS into the Switch 2 version of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake and compared it to native FSR, showing smoother edges and a more natural image.
Ever wondered how DLSS stacks up against FSR on Nintendo's new hardware? A well-known YouTube hardware tester just gave us a fascinating look at exactly that, using none other than The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake on Switch 2.
The channel ElAnalistaDeBits shared a comparison video showing the game running with its native FSR implementation versus an injected DLSS solution. According to the creator, he managed to "inject" DLSS into the Switch 2 console through the HDMI interface — a clever bit of tinkering that lets us see how the two upscaling technologies differ on the same piece of hardware.
And the results are pretty striking. In the side-by-side footage, DLSS clearly smooths out some of the harsh, over-sharpened edges present in the native FSR version. The overall image comes across as more natural, with less of that crunchy, artificial look that aggressive sharpening can sometimes produce. It's the kind of subtle but meaningful difference that image-quality enthusiasts love to dissect frame by frame.
Now, before you get too excited: this is an external test, not an official feature. The DLSS injection was done for experimental purposes and doesn't represent native support from Nintendo or the game's developers. So don't expect to boot up your Switch 2 and find a DLSS toggle waiting for you.
Still, the experiment is more than just a technical curiosity. It offers a direct visual reference for how different super-resolution techniques perform on the Switch 2 platform, giving players and tech enthusiasts alike a tangible sense of what's possible. Whether you're team DLSS or team FSR, it's a fun peek behind the curtain of modern upscaling.
