Link and Zelda's relationship is "up to the player's imagination", Nintendo says
Nintendo has said the nature of Link and Zelda’s relationship in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is open to interpretation, after months of discourse on whether the two characters are dating or not.
In Tears of the Kingdom, you can find some objects owned by Zelda inside Link’s house in Hateno Village. There’s only one bed in the house, which led some fans to believe the pair had moved in together after the events of Breath of the Wild.
In an interview with IGN, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma suggested the development team doesn’t have an answer and instead wants players to come to their own conclusions.
“I don’t think that Zelda is a type of game where the development team says ‘this is what Zelda is, this is what the story is, this is what the game is’,” Aonuma revealed. “I will leave it to everyone’s imagination,” he said of Link and Zelda’s relationship.
