Yeah, the FDM is not necessary to defeat Majora, nor is a divine weapon needed. It was a mask used in the ceremonies of a lost ancient tribe and is imbued with evil magic. That’s all we know about it, but I wouldn’t consider it godly. Ganon can only be defeated by a weapon with the Evil Bane’s property such as the Master Sword and the Silver Arrow. All Links should be on the same tier; Young Link hasn’t done anything that would put him above Toon Link or BotW Link, or most Links.It can be debated. Majora's origins are still up in the air and he did need to the Fiearc Diety mask to fight Majora, however, you could say the FDM was unneeded and Young Link could've beaten Majora without it as he still had the Triforce of Courage (i think) as the FDM is optional (and might not even be canon or Link hasn't canonically worn the mask). Wher in most cases, Ganondorf can't be killed unless it's by a divine object and can only be stopped by someone else who wields a piece of the Triforce. On top of Ganon already being a demi-god without it due to his ties with Demise. So i personally give the edge to Ganon in that regard
By the way, I have a friend who gets so irritated whenever the Master Sword is called the Sword that Seals the Darkness, and always states that it’s the Blade of Evil’s Bane. I prefer BoEB more, but I don’t see it as something worth getting so mad about. XD
