Alright y'allwhom'st
The "Legend of Zelda" Game & Watch game seems to be part of the Legend of Zelda series. While its canonicity is debatable, it shouldn't matter agains this fact: This game's Triforce, Link, Zelda and whatever would likely have the same power as always. We did this before with scaling non-canon content to canon feats.
However, then we have Mr. Game & Watch. Despite the guy being a composite of all G&W games protagonists, for some reasons we do not apply G&W Link's statistics to Mr. G&W himself. Which makes no sense.
To put things in context, Game & Watch ISN'T a "usual" verse. It was more like a system, with several franchises having installements on it. So there is no cross-verse scaling here. It's just a ambiguously canon Link obtaining the Triforce. There shouldn't be any differences to regular scaling to non-canon sources here.
Now here comes Mr. Game & Watch. His first (and thus, strangely, canon) depiction is his Smash one. By Smash's definition, Mr. Game & Watch is the protagonist of every Game & Watch games. We see by his moveset that this includes games that starred others characters than nameless generic protagonists, including Mario.
By that definition, Mr. G&W is the composite of every Game & Watch games protagonist. He isn't a "regular" character. So he shouldn't be subject to limitations regarding cross-verse scaling. It's either that we do not scale Link (G&W) to the LoZ stats or we scale Mr. G&W's composite key to Link's own stats. We can't have Link (G&W) scaled to the LoZ stats without having Mr. Game & Watch scaled to them too.
