So Hylia and Demise. Currently, despite what most would think, they barely qualify as mid tiers in Zelda, unironically being below the likes of Bongo Bongo with currently accepted (Albeit not applied) scaling. However there is a way to finally upgrade them from the shackles of being in the same tier as Vaati, and that's scaling them to Malladus, well downscaling them from Malladus specifically.
So long story short Skyward Sword revealed that the reason all the different Zeldas are naturally born with sacred powers is because they inherited them from Hylia, which y'know cool but most Zeldas have almost nothing going for them in feats or scaling. However, the Zelda in Spirit Tracks after channeling her inner Hylia is actually shown as being physically comparable to Link who as seen in that first clip is strong enough to deflect attacks from Malladus. Now while Malladus is weakened during the actual boss fight, the part where Link deflects his attacks is before that happens so he should be relative, albeit somewhat inferior, to the demon kings full strength.
So unfortunately Demise, the Zelda equivalent of satan, still ends up weaker than or at best barely on part with this random demon king since he scales to / vaguely above Hylia who's sacred powers only allow Zelda to downscale from Malladus but that ain't my fault, Nintendo should've given him and Hylia better scalingand maybe still below Bongo Bongo depending on if you wanna scale the OOT Sages to about a sixth of Ganondorf. Below is a rough draft for Hylias AP if this is accepted;
Large Country level (Created a massive cloud barrier to separate the heavens from the surface, her sacred power is so great that when fully channeled it made Princess Zelda physically comparable to Link)
Dunno if I should add Link being comparable to Malladus in there or just leave it as linking to his profile which has him scaling to Malladus.
