Alright so this has been bugging me for quite some time so I might as well make this thread. Long story short, the triforce doesn't have any legitimate universal feats to scale off to, which I'll explain why. First the main feat the full triforce scales to in the first place is warping the dark world, which not only does it not really prove anything AP related, but it's also reliant on the place being referred to as a world, as well as it being the sacred realm in general, just twisted based on ganon's evil heart. So the problem here, is the somewhat misuse of the term "world" especially in the japanese kanji, with a couple other folks who knows japanese had to elaborate, World doesn't always mean universe, hell in one of the websites regarding Japanese kanji, universe is a far less common meaning for the word sekai (世界), and it doesn't exactly help that the word universe has its own japanese kanji "Uchu" (宇宙), so there would need more evidence than just saying the term "world" that they'd actually mean the entire universe as opposed to it being just the planet we're on. While some may point out how Sekai does have alternate meanings like society and universe, which you could interpret it as the latter, the problem here is not only assuming that it means the universe without much evidence, but Nintendo themselves do not see the term "world" as universe. As shown in the Hyrule Historia (which came out in anticipation for Skyward Sword's original release) where they talked about the different worlds link has explored across many games, and used "sky and land" as one example of the different worlds he and his incarnations explore. So yeah Nintendo themselves (more specifically on the zelda side) don't exactly see eye to eye on world meaning universe to them.
But that's not where this ends, there's also the fact the Triforce has one major anti-feat for it being 3-A in the first place, which is A Link Between worlds ironically enough. Hilda explains how her ancestors resorted to destroying Lorule's triforce to stop the conflict, which started Lorule's decline, hence her being motivated to get the Hyrule triforce to save her land. Well given Hyrule Encylcopedia also made an entire flowchart about the different worlds that exist in the zelda universe with a legends key to show which one's are considered worlds and kingdoms. Lorule's not even registered as a world by Nintendo, just a kingdom. Not only does it make the triforce being 3-A in AP very questionable here, but given the fact Hilda's ancestors destroyed the triforce, and a long time has passed and Lorule's still intact and didn't immediately crumble as a result of the triforce being gone, it doesn't even check off the requirements for stabilization feats, more specifically the 3rd requirement for stabilization feats.
So yeah, this being not a legit feat to scale physically to, on top of Nintendo not believing worlds mean universe when it comes to zelda with the supported evidence that universe and worlds have separate kanjis (with universe being a less common meaning for sekai so there'd need to be more evidence it means universe), on top of Lorule not being registered as a world whatsoever by their own encyclopedias for the series, 3-A Full triforce needs to go, and should just upscale from the High 6-A feat from the giants given the triforce of power upscales from them in the first place. I also bring up the golden goddesses in the title because their ratings are heavily based on making a million worlds. Again with the showing on worlds and universe meaning, this would have to be downgraded immensely. Personally I can see them being 4-C with their creation of Hyrule with the sun being made as a result (I say 4-C instead of High 4-C because there's a recalc on making dimensions with a star that got accepted recently) given we not only have no evidence they made the entire zelda timeline, but all the branching pathways weren't even made by them in the first place, just Link causing timeline changes in OoT. If there's any other evidence in the series to prove there's universal feats for the triforce, or the goddesses where they made flat out universes with time included then we can use them, if not, High 6-A full triforce and 4-C golden goddesses I can see where they could be at.

Requirement 3: Prove that the character's stabilization is comparable to the scale of the structure they are stabilizing. Preferably, it should be proven that the character's sustainability is comparable to the destruction of the structure to best show that their power rivals the destructive output of what would destroy the structure in the first place. Please keep in mind that this may vary depending on how the structure's destruction would occur. For example, if a character sustains the existence of a universe that would not be instantly or immediately destroyed when no longer supported, the power of their sustainability would not be comparable to destructive output that completely and immediately destroys a universe, and would not be sufficient enough to be given a 3-A or Low 2-C rating. However, their sustainability could be given either rating if the universe they sustain would be completely destroyed instantly or immediately without support.
