So the feat is easy: Termina has several stars.
Acconding to Hyrule Encyclopedia, Majora's mask created (It's not a dream world) Termina, which is a 4-A feat.
First of all, HE is canon: even though it was written by Nintendo Dream, Nintendo had a counseling role and they say on the first page that most of what's written is based on in-games materials (the creative liberty content are the sentences with may/might like: at the end of WW the Triforce may have been destroyed).
Most things they wrote actually make sense, as Oox games happening after LA (Zelda does not recognize Link in Oox games). The disclaimers are the same as HH, and Nintendo never dismissed it as non-canon.
According to the wiki rules: Author statements will only be accepted when they clarify what has been shown or implied in the series itself, and will be rejected when they contradict what has been shown to the audience. Statements that technically do not contradict anything shown in the series will still be rejected if there is no evidence that they are accurate
So I'm here to prove that Majora actually created Termina.
1. Inconsistence of power: When we first encounter Skull Kid in the Lost Wood he doesn't show any particular power (he walks, steals Link's horse to escape, etc.), but when Link enters Termina he starts to levitate, curses Link and explicitly says: "Oh, come now. Do you really think you can beat me as I am now?" This can be easily explained with Termina being a pocket reality created by Majora.
2. Parallel world: Termina being Hyrule's parallel world is now impossible thanks to the introduction of Lorule in ALBW and the existence of other characters not present in OoT, meaning that all the characters who have similar appearances to other characters in OoT were created by Link influence when he entered Termina during its creation. Also, it's possible that the people who resemble OoT characters may have been people who lived a long time ago, likely during the events of Minish Cap (in this game appears Tingle, the Gorman brothers and Malon), who Skull Kid met when he was still a child.
3. The existence of Link's weapon in Termina (child sized): see before. And Majora probably didn't care about creating them (we're talking about the same...guy?... that gave Link FDM) .
4. Skull Kid's origin: The Skull Kid of MM is the same one of OoT, made pretty obvious by his statement at the end of the game: "you have the same smell as the fairy kid who taught me that song in the woods". He's clearly talking about Saria's song that he learned in the Lost Woods, either by us or some other Kokiri, so unless the Skull Kid usually travels across worlds (should be noted that the fall from Hyrule to Termina is quite high), Anju's grandma story doesn't make any sense
5. The meeting with Tatl and Tael: This is complicated. Basically there are two possibilities. One is that the flashback we see in MM actually takes place in Hyrule, but that's very unlikely. An another possibility is that the fairies were created by Majora, who canonically has shown the ability to create people (the moon children), when the Skull Kid wanted friends.
6. The five stages of grief: As most people probably already know, the five areas of Termina are based upon the stages of grief. This is likely a representation of Skull Kid's mind after being abandoned by his friends. The moon destroying everything represents Majora destroying Skull Kid's mind.
7. Kaepora Gaebora's statement: In the swamp area he says: "This swamp you are in is fated to lose its guardian deity and eventually disappear. Well, that fate isn't restricted to this swamp..." .
8. The giants: As described in HE, the giants are the spirits of Skull Kids friends created by the mask. The reason he doesn't automatically erase them at the end of the game is likely because he thought it was better to simply force his way.
9. The absence of the Triforce: Last but not least, the fact that the symbol of the Triforce is completely absent in Termina, and no one, not even Anju's grandma, ever mentions any deity aside from the goddess of time (and the four giants). Also, as seen in ALBW, a world cannot exist without something sustaining it, and because there doesn't appear to be the Triforce in Termina, that only leaves MM.
Last things I want to say are that the stars are not illusions, as you can see them with the lens of truth, and that I haven't touched the Happy MS because he wouldn't make sense anyway. This feat scales to FDLink, the Triforce (for obvious reasons), full Triforce wielders, aLttP Link and Composite Link. Demise could get a "At least 4-C, Likely 4-A" for being the king of demons, which Majora obviously is. Same with Hylia, who scales from Demise, but I don't think SS Link should scale, as Demise was still weakened.
Also scales to Cuccos
