What do you need to destroy Ganon?

On the whole, this fight is simple and fairly risk free. Simply run round him in wide circles, and wait until glowing golden spots appear on his body, which you must shoot with your bow. Most will be on the sides, but at one point one will be somewhat underneath, so you may have to move a little closer to reach it.

Can Ganon touch the Master Sword?

He can't. The Master Sword is described, many times, as a blade that “evil cannot touch.” I'd imagine Ganon trying to destroy it would be akin to dousing an acetylene torch with your bare hands.

How many hearts should I have to fight Ganon tears of the kingdom?

Given the mechanics of the final boss, I would say an average player needs at least 20 hearts, alongside a ton of gloom healing food, and general healing. And that's on top of an armor set that's at least upgraded to 2 stars. 3 unless you plan on getting hit.

What armor is best against Ganon?

Gear can play an important role in these fights as Phantom Ganon can deal a lot of damage per hit, and the gloom that spreads from beneath him will temporarily reduce your max hearts. So you will want to either use armor with high defense or attack bonuses like the soldier or barbarian armor sets.

Alternatively, a regular arrow or using your longshot to hit Ganon's face will cause him to pause very briefly, but long enough to quickly run around and stab his tail with your sword. The funniest way to defeat the king of evil is with the first weapon you ever got, the Deku Nuts.

Is The Master Sword worth it in Tears of the Kingdom?

It's your best weapon for general use since it recharges for free. It also has some of the highest base stats in the game with 30 attack and 40 durability each time it recharges. Usually I fuse a Silver Boko horn to it which you will always have more than you'll ever need.

What happens if you defeat Ganon before the Divine Beasts?

The game puts a star next to your save to indicate you've beaten Ganon, leaving you to finish the rest of the game as intended; don't worry because this was an intended design choice as logically there wouldn't be a game left if Link had beaten Ganon and there wouldn't be a primary objective anymore of any urgency.

Each one is located in a different Divine Beast and while none of them are easy, Thunderblight Ganon is the toughest. He flies around and shocks Link. It can be hard to catch him in a single spot and the fact that he can make Link drop his weapons makes fighting him pretty tricky.
