I’ve been chatting with a friend about the scene where Link defeats Ganondorf in Twilight Princess. After Link drives the Master Sword into Ganondorf’s chest, he stands up and calls upon the Triforce of Power, which Zant denies him before he ultimately falls. We debated the possibility of Ganondorf surviving if he had possessed the full power of the Triforce, similar to what happened in his execution scene. My friend thinks it’s unlikely that the incarnation of Demise’s hatred would survive such a lethal blow. Would he have just been sealed away as he was in Ocarina of Time?

It’s interesting to think about! However, Zant never actually had a part of the Triforce of Power. His appearance at the end seems more like imagery rather than a sign of him controlling any power. So, it’s likely that Ganondorf wouldn’t have survived even with the full Triforce, especially with the Master Sword in him.
Totally! During one of the cutscenes, Twilight Ganondorf says something like ‘I shall grant you my power’ to Zant. Maybe that hints that he had some connection.
