Why was Ganondorf sealed and not killed?

And since Ganon WAS holding the ToP during the time of his execution, the sages were unable to kill him. Thus they did the next best thing, they banished him into a prison dimension.

(It's been long time since I have stated anything in theorizing, so forgive me if I stated any incorrect info.)

Did Ganon hold the ToP during his execution in WW? (again its been a long time) If he did that could disprove yor whole theory. Thus indicating that the ToP had nothing to do with Ganon's survival.

Nope.

Ganon re-united the Triforce.
Daphnes wished on it.
It flew away.
Link planted his sword in Ganon's skull.

This is why I think the ToP grants Immortality to some extent.

Sure, but does it actually increase the swords strength at all, that's what I wanna know.

The Light Arrows "lowered his defenses" - if that doesn't mean he has a weak point, I don't know what does.

he doesn't have a particular weak spot, no. Unless you count his entire body as a weak spot and his mind as the opposite of weak spot. Strong spot?

I think the Sol power only makes the MS repel Twilight magic, but doesn't actually make it more powerful.

THE LIGHT THINGY!!!

I can't remember who said that before, but I cracked up when the Sol power was called that.

Midna actually says that the Sols are still in the Master Sword and should help out during the battle against the possessed Zelda. You have to avoid energy tennis for a while to get the cutscene.

Ganondorf didn't have weak points, he could just be harmed. Nothing in OoT or TWW comes close to the scar left by the Sages in TP.

So what exactly is the nature of the Sages' sword?

I've been thinking that the Sages' sword is akin to the Light Arrows.
Extremely damaging to evil doers, but it can only stun those with the ToP.
Hence TP Ganondorf was pierced by the Sages' sword, and would have died,
had he not suddenly got the ToP.

Perhaps the sages did not know he carried the ToP? I believe that it is akin to the light arrows, because it seemed to be an ancient relic. Perhaps melted down from the light arrows used in OoT? Or do you believe it is something created new altogether?

As for it's creation, I couldn't say, but I am guessing that Light Arrows would have given OoT
Ganondorf a similar injury before he got the ToP.

Agreed. But that also begs the question. Is there any SINGLE weapon that could theoretically kill Ganondorf with the ToP

The Triforce of Power didn't leave Ganon in TP until after the Master Sword has already pierced him. From what I could see, it was the Master Sword that expelled the Triforce from his body and killed him.

Yea I just watched it again. It would appear that it was the ToP that was keeping him alive and the master sword must have driven it out, in return killing him.

Silver Arrows (LoZ)

Pshh...why kill Ganondorf when you could just seal him away? I mean, why save humanity when we get to punish the bad guy with a thousand years of torment that will only result in his anger to fester even more. The Sages are smart

It's even funnier because there's a trend to it. Every time Ganon escapes a seal he's been stuck in for hundreds of years, he promptly gets his ass kicked and dies anyway 3 days later. It's like being let out of prison after 50 years only to be hit by a car as soon as you leave the front gate.

That's Ganondorf without the Triforce of Power. He can be killed with a yogurt cup.
