I'm gonna go ahead and actually answer buddy's question.

Yes, holy weapons have been the only thing to consistently kill him, and even that's not guaranteed (got stabbed in the head as Ganon by the Master Sword and he still lived). There have been many attempts to "debunk" this idea, but it's always been a holy power of some sort that either kills or seals Ganon.

Modern games even took this into account. In Breath of the Wild, since getting the Master Sword is 100% optional for beating the game, Ganon final stage of his boss fight had you fight exclusively with the Light Arrows, so no matter what, it had to be a holy weapon to defeat him, further suggesting that's it's the only proper way.
