Most Nintendo games still seem to be locked at 60Hz (sometimes 30 maybe?). Look at the fuss when people realised that Mario Kart 8 dropped to 59Hz sometimes ;-)

Nintendo generally picks a framerate and sticks to it. The N64 zelda games were actually locked at 20hz.

(It is possible to do 60hz on the N64, but it's really hard)
