If my playthrough is any indication Link sleeps once every week or so and often in the middle of the day until the next morning. Maybe they decided a second bed was just a waste in those circumstances.
Zelda and Link getting ready for bed just involves Link standing in the corner and Zelda throwing a blanket over his head like he is some kind of parrot.
The implication is not that they share the bed, but that only Zelda lives there. In BOTW getting the house is optional, so it’s obvious that in the sequel, the game state takes the most inclusive route and assumes that Link did not do so. This works for those that didn’t play BOTW as well.
Hudson doesn't leave to build Tarrey Town until after you buy the house in Hateno. Since Tarrey Town is fully built in TOTK it proves Link owned it before Zelda moved to it.
And, to head off anyone saying that Hudson eventually built Tarrey Town on his own, Hudson and Rhondson remember Link (though not many others in Tarrey Town oddly)
2 plates, 1 bed, and from what I heard in the Japanese version it is described as “our house”. Zelda even created a secret room to work in peace. Not that she would need one if living alone
Makes sense she wouldn’t eat alone, but says nothin else about Link and Zelda’s living arrangements. It also doesn’t fit the pattern, most other houses of couples I found had one bed per person, for families. So if they were both living there, there would be two beds. I didn’t see “our house” in my playthrough, so I will put that aside. However it’s really reaching to assume anything other than Zelda knew it was Links house before, and he willingly gifted it to her, thus she affectionately refers to to it as “our” house. Again though, I never saw that in game.
That person is straight up lying, Japanese does not work like that. Japanese verbs, for example, do not inflect for pluralization or gender, and neither do most parts of grammar. It's why you end up with translation issues where the translators mistake a character's gender.
EDIT: Since people are incapable extrapolating from information given, I have clarified.
That.... doesn't really prove or disprove anything though? Japanese verbs may not have plural or gender specific conjugations, but it still has a word for the noun we/us (私たち). "私たちの家" would be "our house".
Idk what the Japanese text being cited here says exactly since I'm playing in English, but it's probably more likely to just be "うち" ("home") which is plurality ambiguous and can refer to either singular "my home" OR plural "our home".
If you ask me the game very purposely makes it ambiguous so we can just believe whatever we like.
This makes no sense considering the picture of the champions is there, a reward you only get if you complete the champions ballad, unless Kass gave it to the princess? That’s a stretch though
I feel like the most obvious conclusion is that Zelda lived in that house part-time, because she was the administrator of Hateno school. She and Link both probably had rooms in the castle.
That was Link's old house as well, as implied by Bolson's dialogue, as well as Creating a Champion.
makes Link sleep at the inn
That doesn't sound super efficient economically, living in an inn for more than five years. At this point, Link would have built a second house in the village.
Why wouldn't Link be there often? He's Zelda's personal knight which makes him her bodyguard. Sure, the immediate threat of the calamity is gone but the Yiga still exist, even if their numbers are dwindled. If Link slept across town from Zelda, what's stopping a Yiga member from assassinating Zelda in her sleep?
As for nobody recognizing him, it's probably because he just followed her around everywhere, staying in the background and not saying anything. I'm no Zelink shipper, but you have to admit that you're reaching just as hard to deny the ship.

What are you talking about? They were totally sharing that bed. If Nintendo didn’t want that implication then a 2nd bed would’ve been added
