Why not just give these abilities to Zelda straight off the bat? It's not like we can't make up the world. It's not like we can't make up a new magic system anytime. If the Princess is as remotely powerful as she was in
Ocarina of Time, you remember, the big white hadoken blast at Ganondorf, she wouldn't need a sword to do any of that. I think you're really grasping at straws here.

It's called an example, silly goose. Sure it may reference (OMG) some other topic, but let's face it, I can't think of any sword off the top of my head ever invented whose SOLE purpose was to have some sort of magical enhancement upon the bearer AND NOT be used to kill things with its sharp blades. If you could name one... just one... sword that was never allowed to be used as a stabbing or slicing weapon... or even a sword that was highly unuseful as a stabbling/slicing weapon, then you might have a decent argument.

I give you two scenarios. Tell me which one sounds more reasonable to you.
Scenario #1: You see a poor, defenseless girl in the corner screaming and crying her eyes out. This is the person you've been told to capture.
Scenario #2: You see a regally dressed woman brandishing a sword in a somewhat fluent manner, her eyes scornfully looking at you. This is the person you've been told to capture. Which of these two princesses would, you know, sound easier to capture, hm? The one playing on the "I'm a pink princess and I like flowers!" girl, or the one that has a remote shot of knowing how to wield a weapon? Personally, I think were I trying to fool someone into getting really close so that I could spellblast and pwn their sorry behinds, I'd play the first option because then I have double the element of surprise.
Dear gosh, I could argue your own side better than you guys are. However, even if I were to do so, when it boils down to it, Occam's Razor is going to slice your idea to smithereens.
