There is one single toilet in MM, one in SS. But none in TP, WW and OOT.
Where does everyone go? Even in the games where there is a toilet, having a reasonable sized community would mean there would be times when it was unavailable for long periods.
My guess is that in OOT and TP even MM, people do their business into a chamber pot and throw it into the streets out of their window. It was common practice before toilets became widespread, so I imagine that a society that is not that advanced such as those in Zelda, would use a similar method. That makes Hyrule castle town and Clock town seem just that little bit less appealing now knowing that had the developers decided to give an accurate representation everyone would be sloshing around in fae-ces. I could probably make another thread about how poor hygene would have been in Hyrules settlements. I mean a shower once a month is considered clean for them. Towns in hyrule are certainly not places you would want to live.
In SS however, should you not be a member of the academy who have access to a lone toilet, As a regular townsman or woman of skyloft you have an island to empty your chamber pot off, the contents never to be seen again, leaving the streets clean of human waste. Out of all the places Skyloft is probably the cleanest. Gaepora even takes regular baths so it is possible hygiene is more popular up there.
