Sword of the Six Sages

The is a recurring and in . The goes unnamed in , , and .
== Description ==
The Sword of the Six Sages is a two-handed, totally white sword. Its guard is ornately crafted and shaped, and the handle has distinct ridges, to provide its wielder with a stronger grip. Ganondorf is seen with a scabbard for the sword, but it is considerably cruder in design and is wrapped in bandages. The Sage of Water was able to levitate it by thought alone, as shown in his botched execution of Ganondorf. The King of Evil can freely switch between using one hand or two in battle, presumably by virtue of his unnatural strength. Ganondorf also implies that, at least during the time he wielded it, the Sword of the Six Sages was capable of umbrakinetic abilities.
