If there is an intention behind making this option only avaiable in docked mode and not in handheld, which I am not aware of, then please excuse me, but could you then make at least the default size of the HUD/GUI in handheld mode a bit bigger?
It makes playing the game in hanheld mode very frustrating because the items are so small, especially if you play on a Switch Lite which has an even smaller screen.
Thank you for your report!
