There is a bug which requires Overworld/Nether Portals to be at the same Y coordinate to link correctly, in the Bedrock 1.16.0 update.
After creating a portal in both the Overworld and Nether (at the correct X/Z coordinates so they should link), then entering the Nether, I am transported to a Y coordinate that is BELOW the portal I built in the Nether. This completely breaks Nether Portal linking in the new 1.16.0 Bedrock version and this was a reported bug in the Java version of one of the 1.16 snapshots.
Portal Coordinates;
My overworld portal is located at: 1040, 65, 368
My Nether portal is located at: 130, 94, 46
Expected Result:
I should appear at: 130, 94, 46
Actual Result:
I appear at: 130, 70, 46
As you see above, my Overworld Y Coordinate is 65 and my Nether Y coordinate is 94.
When I enter the portal in the overworld, it places me at: 130, 70, 46
(X/Z are correct, but the Y is wrong. It places me 23 blocks directly below my portal - at the wrong Y coordinate)
Conclusion:
This is actually not a bug/issue - this was related to using MCCToolChest to reset the Nether. Please read my comment below for further information.
Mojang - please ignore/close this.

Tami Ramsey - this has not been the way portals link. I've just resolved the issue and my portal at Y65 in the overworld, now links to my Y94 portal in the Nether.
Mojang - please close this as resolved/closed/not an issue - I have identified and fixed the problem.
The issue was actually caused by using MCCToolChest to reset the nether, however some data was left over under the 'portals' section within MCCToolChest, which still referenced a portal location in the nether, which no longer existed after resetting the nether.
Basically, I was being teleported to a ghost portal at Y70 in the Nether, because it thought a portal still existed there, when it no longer did, due to me resetting the nether data in MCCToolChest.
Hi Kevin, I have the same issue (I recently moved from 1.15.2 to 1.16.1 and I deleted region files and chunk selectively to keep some chunks where huge projects are, and to reset the rest of the nether). I'm currently linking old overworld portals to new portals but I encounter the same issue: my overworld portal takes me to a place without creating portal on the nether side, and the location is the location of the old nether portal (which has been removed by deleting the chunks).
How did you manage to correct this ?
Thanks in advance
Hello everyone,
I had this same problem but managed to fix it. I have the solution in this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/ho9lrs/unable_to_link_nether_portals/
This has been the way portals link for a very long time. It doesn’t always happen, but it is an expected outcome. I almost exclusively build all the portals on our server/Realm and we’re in Season 5.
