No, not the tier. The hax. Sorry for the kinda clickbait title.
This scan is from Hyrule Encyclopedia
We know thanks to this statement ("the Triforce is the ultimate power behind all things") that the TF is the source of "all things", as, unless you believe the TF is below a Wizzrobe in magical ability, or that the Sacred Realm is on Ganon's back, behind here can just mean "source".
We also know it's not referring to creating things as the GGs did that, and it doesn't refer to being just a piece of their power. Writing "ultimate" in a context that implies the GGs wouldn't make the TF "ultimate" anymore.
Ultimate, like every adjective, is relative. I may be the "ultimat student of my class, but compared to every student of my school, I may not be it anymore. But if someone wrote that I'm the ultimate student, he's clearly referring it into a context of my class.
Probably not the best example, you can change "ultimate" with "most educated" or "most intelligent" if you want, it changes nothing.
Using the same example, writing "Ultimate" to describe the Triforce means that in that context there's nothing superior to it.
So the only possible interpretations are that the TF is giving powers to "all things", meaning that these things can use their powers (AKA hax) because the TF gave them the powers themselves.
Also, as a supporting statement, we have the jap intro of SS saying that the TF is universal as in "Relating to or done by all people or things in the world or in a particular group; applicable to all cases." Not in the sense of 3-A. Yeah, I copy-pasted that from google. Source: https://zeldauniverse.net/forums/Th...Baton-of-the-Wind/?postID=5861174#post5861174
Obviously, abilities that come from a character having particular body structure, like the Like-Like's absorption, and other particular ones don't scale.
The below is pretty much accepted:
Now, the ALTTP manual states "The people of Hyrule forged a sword resistant to magic which could repulse even the powers of the Triforce. This mighty weapon became known as the blade of evil's bane, or Master Sword ". While the backstory is wrong, we can't ignore that it states that the MS can resist the powers of the TF, especially given that the magic null part is true.
