Continuation of this thread. As Dark said, we needed a new thread. And despite what Matt said, it was going somewhere. I'll use "=" to indicate that two things have the same size in this thread.
Manipulating the Dark World
"µÀÀµ▓îÒü«Õ£░ÒÇÇÒâÅÒéñÒâ®Òâ½Òü½ Ú╗äÚçæÒü«õ©ëÕñºþÑ×ÒÇüÚÖìÞç¿ÒüÖÒÇé Three great golden goddesses descended to the land of chaos that was Hyrule." -Deku Tree
Here it's stated that Hyrule = Chaos, and as Matthew said in an another thread:
"If they predate time and are said to have created the world out of chaos, then it is pretty obvious that they created the universe.
Like, this is basic creation-myth stuff."
"It says they made the world from Chaos. In other words, they created the universe."
"Creation Myths use metaphors like Primordial Waters, Chaotic Lakes, Abyssal Seas to convey a state of shapeless and endless chaos, from which the world was ordered."
"In a Creation Myth context, The Goddesses creating the world from Chaos, specially in conjunction to the statement that they predate time itself, means that they formed the universe from a primordial state of chaos."
"The Chaos here is the typical chaos of Creation Myths, a formless state before the universe was created and / or ordered."
Given that Hyrule = Chaos, and that the Chaos became the universe, that means that Universe = Chaos = Hyrule. Like, what's even the point of stating that Chaos = Hyrule otherwise?
"ÒüùÒüïÒüùÒé¼ÒâÄÒâ│Òü»ÒüØÒéîÒüáÒüæÒüºµ║ÇÞÂ│ÒüøÒüÜÒÇü『ÕàëÒü«õ©ûþòî』ÒÇüÒâÅÒéñÒâ®Òâ½ÒéÆÒééµêæÒüîþë®Òü½ÒüùÒéêÒüåÒü¿õ╝üÒéôÒüºÒüäÒéïÒü«ÒüºÒüÖÒÇé But Ganon isn't satisfied, so he proceeded to rule the "light world", Hyrule." -ALTTP manual
Here we can see that Light World = Hyrule. Across the series, Hyrule has been used to describe only the kingdom and as the dimension the main games take place, as we see with statements that states that Termina or the Twilight Realm mirror Hyrule, clearly not the kingdom because Termina even mirrors constellations. And the Light World falls in the second category as, well, it's a "world". Despite being a rather loose term, it certainly doesn't mean kingdom. But more importantly...
"It (the Dark World) mirrors the Light World" -Hyrule Historia
The Light World = Dark World, which has a sun in it and as such it has at bare minimum an Sun-Earth radius, and the kingdom of Hyrule isn't that big. As such, Hyrule = Universe must be referred to the second use of the word "Hyrule", which would scale to the size of the Dark World.
The Full Triforce, warping the Sacred Realm, created the Dark World.
TL;DR: Universe = Chaos = Hyrule = Light World = Dark World. The Triforce can completely manipulate an universe.
Sustains the "World"
"ÒüôÒü«Õ¥îÒÇüÒüØÒü«ÒÇÇÞüûõ©ëÞºÆÒéÆ õ©ûÒü«þÉåÒü«ÒÇÇþñÄÒü¿ÒüÖÒéïÒééÒü«Òü¬Òéè" From here, Deku Tree describing the creation of the Zelda verse.
This means: "ÔÇ¿After that, those sacred triangles became the cornerstone for the world's þÉå".
Don't let the use of the word "world" to fool you, as he's using this term as a contrast between the start of the creation when there was no "þÉå" in the "world", AKA tipical primordial chaos from every creation myth ever.
"õ©ûÒü½ÒÇÇþÉåÒü¬ÒüÅÒÇüÕ梵£¬ÒüáÒÇÇÕ¢óÒü¬ÒüòÒüÜ"
"ÔÇ¿When there was no þÉå in the world and life did not yet have form."
So, what does "þÉå" mean? According to this dictionary, it can mean:
1. reason; principle; logic
2. (Buddh) general principle (as opposed to individual concrete phenomenon) ÔåÆRelated words: õ║ï
3. (in neo-Confucianism) the underlying principles of the cosmos
We can already rule out the first meaning, as here we're clearly in a "religious" context, and the other two simply are much more probable given that TF has never been associated with "logic" or "reason". I've asked Shiro what could have it been, and he answered the third. It's also extremely consistent with ALBW.
It Sustains Lorule
This is also partially connected to the first thing. Given that Hyrule = Universe, but also Hyrule = Lorule.
"Transform into a living painting and slip between Hyrule and a dark, parallel dimension." -Zelda official web page
"Let's talk about this country for a bit. Long ago, there was a triangle that if touched, grants any wishes in Lorule. It's called Triforce. People fought over for this power, resulting in kingdom's collapse. The kingdom of Lorule, to stop this, destroyed the Triforce. But it backfired..... Triforce is a power of God. It's existence is the pillar of the world, holding it. With Lorule, not having the pillar, is destined to collapse. This land needs Triforce."
She says she wants to talk about the country of Lorule, so she starts telling about the Triforce, which was in Lorule (not kingdom), as it was in Lorule's Sacred Realm. The people of the country fought over it, and their fight caused the ruin of the kingdom. Again, she states that the kingdom (more exactly, the royals) destroyed it. The word "World" is used very loosely in the Zelda verse, that much I'll admit, but it can be easily understood by context. For example, here it refers to Lorule, made obvious by the whole "pillar" thing. Lastly she says that "Lorule" would collapse. Do I need to explain what does she mean with "Lorule" after this long explanation?

Conclusion
The Triforce is able to complete warp the an universe sized realm, sustains an another one and recreated an another Triforce which could sustain yet an another universe.
This isn't an outlier as it scales only to the Triforce which is constantly stated to be far above the rest of the characters.
