Ok, this is my first theory--so please, stay open-minded!
Anyways, everyone who's beaten Skyward Sword should know that the Master Sword was forged with the Sacred Flames. THREE sacred flames. To those who don't know, the three Sacred Flames are ethereal flames that have been around since at least the time of the Goddess. Each of the flames represents the three virtues e.g., wisdom, power, and courage. The original creators are never confirmed, but the Goddess and the original goddesses are both considered possible creators. Each of these flames are protected by guardians, in case evil should seek them. In order to forge the Master Sword, the Goddess Sword must be tempered with each of the flames and given Zelda's Blessing.
So what happened to these flames?
My answer is simple. In order to preserve them, they were contained within three treasures. These treasures would act as proof of the hero, in whatever form he/she would appear. In the Zelda universe there are three sets of treasures: the Spiritual stones(in OoT), the Pendants(in ALTTP), and the Goddess Pearls(in WW). All of them are gems colored the colors of the goddessess: blue, red, and green.
With ALLTP as exception, they also have one more gift: the Ocarina of Time, as proof from Zelda for the Hero, and the Sages Prayers to power the Master Sword.
Not only do the three treasures allow one access to the Master Sword, but at least two of the sets cast a mysterious light. In WW, they have a bright glow; Prince Komali also mentions a warmth coming from his Pearl. OoT is a bit more to difficult, but in the quote at 10:20 Let's Play Ocarina of Time, Part 09 - Goron City - YouTube you can see that the light from the stone actually lights the entirety of Goron City.
If they were the flames, it would make sense that they would be protected to such high degrees. It would also make sense that Ganon could have given the first bosses the Pendants(i.e., the spiritual stones), so that noone could re-awaken the Master Sword.
What do you think? I think it all fits together nicely, but I'm welcome to any criticism.
