* This ritual is used at least twice in other media (in a memorable scene in Harry Potter, discussed in "Harry Potter and the Disenchantment of the World"; and in ''[[Literature/PrinceCaspian Prince Caspian]]'', where the spell was interrupted), but it's only in ''The Adventure of Link'' that the forces of darkness are specifically trying to sacrifice the hero before reviving their overlord. That could just be Ganon's monsters being nasty, and they certainly are pretty nasty; but it could be because Ganon's going to need a body in order to return to the physical world. But his appearance in the Game Over screen suggests that he's knitting himself back together from smoke, which would fit with the specific emphasis on his ashes.
* (As for the other way of reading the above -- that Link is so comprehensively corrupted by this evil magic that he ends up a plausible "substitute Ganon", [[http://zelda.gamepedia.com/The_Legend_of_Zelda_(Cagaronne)/Issue_3#The_Price it's been imagined at least once before]].)

[[Link becomes Ganon if he dies.]]
The spell to revive Ganon calls for both Ganon's ashes and the blood of who killed him. Bringing them together results in the famous Game Over screen with a laughing Ganon... except more recent material has revealed that at this point, Ganon is little more than a raging beast. A concept like laughter would be beyond him this far down the timeline. The only way he'd have the capacity to laugh menacingly like that is with assistance from a foreign host. In this spell, Link's blood is the only other ingredient...

Because there is nobody to wield the Triforce of Wisdom properly, Hyrule has been slowly falling apart over the centuries, much like [[TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds Lorule]] was without a Triforce at all. The result is that the only liquid you ever see in any cave is magma. This isn't just Death Mountain or the Valley of Death later on: the cave in Tantari desert has deadly magma pits, right next to the ocean. Also, let's not forget the screens with the rising bubbles: poison from the boiling ocean. Funny how all those temples also had so much lava in them, huh? Thankfully, we can assume that Hyrule begins to mend itself once the ancient Zelda is awake, but if Link was to die on the way...

Its beams are a complete joke, and many of the enemies from the previous game that it and the beam could easily kill are now suddenly very resistant to them, if not outright immune (Even the ones in the "Zelda 1" portion of the game!) Considering the sudden inclusion of experience points and leveling up, it could be that the Magical Sword itself actually has to be recharged with blood. Sadly, by the end of the game, the sword beam is still little more than a flashy dressing.

Think about it. We never find out what happened to the triforces between the first game and this one. Last we saw, Ganon's triforce was in Link's hands. This would explain why Link can level up (which doesn't appear in any other Zelda game) and use magic (which usually requires at least some sort of tool or fairy power). It also explains why killing Link might be able to bring back Ganon, and why the final boss is Dark Link rather than some external evil.
* Actually, we do know what happened to the Triforces after the first game. In the ending you see Link using all three Triforces to awaken the Sleeping Zelda. This means that Link was carrying the Triforce of Wisdom and the Triforce of Power with him for the entire game.
