She lives in the wild
Isn't there a big wall around Kakariko now in the gameplay footage? Possible they fortified the city to protect her.

She's got her own little place in Hateno. Technically it's on the same property as the Ancient Tech lab, but it's got it's own entrance, and she does her own research. The kids think she's Purah's mom, which has chilled things out a bit on that front.
She's not dating, exactly, but she and Prima have dinner most nights. At least, most nights that Zelda doesn't get so caught up in research she forgets to eat. Manny is a bit clueless, usually, but he seems to get it. He likes Zelda, after all, though he doesn't believe the rumors that she's the Princess from a hundred years ago.
She's been thinking of moving to Tarrey Town. She feels obligated. As the only remaining member of the Royal Family, she feels like she should be there, the place where Hyrule is being rebuilt! But she's ready for some quiet, away from Royal Obligations, after 100 years of doing her duty, and Link convinced her that the locals were doing enough themselves, and they didn't need a monarch coming in and telling them what to do.
Of course he did it in his quiet way, saying nothing, simply being there while she came to her own conclusions.
There are too many monsters on the road, even now, and Impa can't travel as easily as Purah and Robbie, so sometimes they make their way down to Kakariko, or just Zelda by herself, and sit and talk. Impa is so much older, but they're immediately back where they were 100 years ago, and despite the fact that she fact that they look like peers, Paya starts to think of Zelda as an aunt. Zelda isn't sure how she feels about this, but the shy girl reminds her of herself, in strange ways.
It's not a bad life, but at night, sometimes, she goes to the roof of the tech lab, and looks at the castle through the telescope. She spent a century in there, locked in battle. 10,000 years, or more of her family have lived there. It still keeps so many secrets. Ghosts? Link says he saw the spirit of her father, once. What else might there be - who else might there be - buried beneath?

I was hoping this was gonna end in a name issue (no -son), but the silent Link punchline worked too

This is the correct answer. No reason to not believe she went on the longest honeymoon with Link, exploring all places in Hyrule and eating frogs.
She could have a stash or something in Kakariko and/or Hateno. She could also have a nice room of her own in Link's house (i.e., Link's own bed, and he sleeps on the floor below, on a couch).

I’d like to think she kept her identity a secret so she can have the life of exploration and research she wants. She spent 100 years holding back Ganon, she paid her dues to the country. Maybe she’s nomadic, maybe she lives with Impa, maybe she lives with Link. I never liked the idea that she and Link have to be romantically involved though. They can be plutonic partners.

Zelda held off Calamity Ganon for 100 years. Who’s going to challenge her?

I guess Kakariko Village? That's like the ideal safe haven in Hyrule.

Dude paid 3000 rupees to save the house from demolition, provided the repair materials, and paid for the furnishing. I think he's good on rent.

As soon as you ask her to move in, it's no longer your house. Zelda got straight to work fixing up that bachelor pad. Took down all of his toys from the walls and replaced them decorations. Bought some actual furniture. I'm sure Link's Amiibo collection is now stored under the staircase.

When we first were together, and when we were friends, my wife and I slept together on a small twin size bed in college. It was cozy.
Also, we gotta realize that Link is extremely short and small compared to literally everyone else. He's definitely the little spoon, just like me

I should make it clear, I have nothing against the idea of them living/sleeping together. I just thought the idea of her making him sleep outside like an animal was funny.When we first were together, and when we were friends, my wife and I slept together on a small twin size bed in college.

"THAT's how you arranged the modules? Sigh, fine. Let me fix this for you, Link."
