AnonymousI have been using this as a guide for my DS3 Ganon run. Most of it carries over well, though you'll need to get your weight >70%
I think using dual scimitars, Winged spear, the Zweihander, or dual Bastard Swords can work as an alternative (or at least a temporary substitute) for less trade-heavy playthroughs.
They aren’t as good thematically (except for the scimitars, maybe) but they still reflect Ganondorf’s personality and strength pretty well.
