Trident

The trident is one of Ganon's weapons of choice. He is seen wielding one in A Link to the Past, BS The Legend of Zelda, Ancient Stone Tablets, the Oracle series, and Four Swords Adventures.

Four Swords Adventures features a much stronger version, which according to Hyrule Historia has not made an appearance in another game. The trident is held in the Pyramid level, and has an inscription nearby. The inscription would mean that this trident is the exact opposite of the Master Sword. The Master sword being the ultimate light weapon while the trident is the ultimate dark weapon. Ganon uses the trident to fire a flurry of bolts; when hit, Link is transported to the Dark World. Secondly when Ganon throws it, the trident leaves a trail of blue fire in its path.

Upon his revival in Oracle of Ages or Oracle of Seasons, Ganon wields a trident once again, using it to attack in vicious swipes. He also uses the trident to summon energy balls, as do characters such as Phantom Ganon. However, these attacks cannot be deflected.

A Link to the Past
The trident makes its first appearance in A Link to the Past, where Ganon uses it in the first stage of his boss battle. He will spin it and toss it at Link while sending fire bats after him. After a certain point, Ganon will abandon this tactic and use his secret technique of Darkness in lieu of the trident.

Link's Awakening
Although a trident-wielding Ganon does not appear in this game, the final boss will take Ganon's form and attack Link by throwing a trident at him in a similar fashion to how Ganon attacked in A Link to the Past.

BS The Legend of Zelda and Ancient Stone Tablets
In BS The Legend of Zelda, Ganon fights similarly to how he fought in the original The Legend of Zelda, by turning invisible and shooting fireballs. As such, the trident is merely cosmetic and not actually used in combat. In Ancient Stone Tablets, he uses it just as he does in A Link to the Past.

Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons
When Ganon is revived in the Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons Linked Games ending, he uses the trident to battle Link. He either attacks with a vicious direct swipe or a flurry of energy balls. Most of these attacks can be dodged using the Roc's Feather or Roc's Cape.

Four Swords Adventures
In this game, Ganondorf found the trident when he broke Gerudo law and entered the Pyramid across the Desert of Doubt. Inside, he found it underneath an inscription that promised its wielder the power to become the King of Darkness. Ganon uses this trident during the final battle, where his attacks include throwing the trident with a trail of blue fire, and shooting a flurry of lightning bolts that send the Links into the Dark World.

Ganon believes that his trident will grant him the power to destroy the Links, threatening to skewer them on it. Princess Zelda recognizes the trident and refers to Ganon as the "ancient demon reborn" because he wields it. A Knight of Hyrule mentions that Ganon used the trident to defeat the Knights and send them into the Dark World.

A Link to the Past comic
In the A Link to the Past comic, Ganon is seen wielding his trident in the final battle. At first, Ganon's trident easily overpowers Link, and the young hero even gets stuck in between it, rendering him incapable of moving. After Link and Zelda defeat Ganon, Link is seen holding the trident in his hand as the Triforce asks him to make his wish.
