First portal to enter the nether works fine and the return takes you back to that portal in the overworld. Made a second portal a long way away and entering that portal takes me to the first portal location in the nether (no second nether portal is created) and exiting the portal returns you to the original (first) portal. Even if I disable the first portal the problem persists - but the game creates a new exit portal in the overworld near the original.
I have not used any third party software and this was a new seed that I started after the update was released.

Still having the same issue with new seeds following the Switch patch. Only one nether portal is created and all overworld portals link to it. Exiting from the nether takes you to the first overworld portal created (and if you destroy it the game creates one nearby). No matter how far away any other overworld portals are, they all link to the first in the nether and you can not exit the nether to any of these other portals.
It really sucks :/

Happens to me a lot. It's impossible for me to use more than one portal knowing that my other portals aren't linking properly.

Have you tried building a second portal inside the nether at the corresponding coordinates to properly link the portals up?
Also, how far apart are the portals in the overworld?

You have to build the new portal in the Nether. I think this has become one of those “it’s not a bug it’s a feature” things.

I’ve built it in the nether, but it still brings me back to the same original portal

I should have said - this was a new seed that I started after I completely installed the 1.16.0 update on the switch - not just after release.
