When the [[Ancient Sages]] decided to execute Ganondorf, they chained him to a massive stone in the [[Arbiter's Grounds]] and ran him through with the Sword of the Six Sages. Unfortunately, at the moment he should have died. the [[Triforce of Power]] awakened within him and saved his life. Using this "power of the gods", he broke free and used the sword to kill the Ancient Sage of Water. When the remaining Sages used the [[Mirror of Twilight]] in a panic to banish him to the [[Twilight Realm]], the sword went with him.

When Link and [[Midna]] find out Ganondorf was the power behind [[Zant]]'s actions, they find him in the [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]] throne room with the Sword of the Six Sages, the wound caused by it still glowing on his chest, a point of vulnerability in Dark Beast Ganon form. When chased down on Hyrule Field, [[Ganondorf (Twilight Princess)#Dark Lord Ganondorf|Ganondorf draws the sword itself to battle Link]], describing it as a "foul blade". Its fate after Ganondorf's death is unknown.
