Alright, but I still don't buy it.

Cursing Medusa may be a great feat in its own right, but is in no way a fighting ability. At the very least, it simply shows that Palutena has a large pool of magic to her disposal, of which we only really have that one example of her using. We have no idea to what extent she can use said magic, and thus only really know that she holds a hexing advantage over Medusa. Medusa, who, we still haven't really seen use much powerful magic as opposed to physical force and abilities.

Palutena was almost clueless to what the Aurum were. Hence the insertion of Pyrrhon, and his own existing knowledge on the Aurum. Not to mention the assistance of both Viridi and Hades. Most of Palutena's quips on the Aurum were pointing out what they were... which is obvious, becuase they're literally hive-minded copies of enemies she's seen time and time again, like the Forces of Nature, and, of course, the Underworld monsters... And yes, Hades is more intelligent than Palutena, I agree, but Palutena never outsmarted him...? All she did was contract the Great Sacred Treasure, which, while it did defeat Hades, was simply a powerful weapon that made sense to obtain. I don't see any smarts required in that. Especially compared to feats of smarts that Ganondorf has aquired.

Light weapons or not, the term of a "Goddess" or "God" does not stay the same between different fictions. Gods of the Dragon Ball universe should not be compared to Gods of DC, and so on. It's just a title. Gods in KI have been explained to be simply powerful beigns who can suffer defeat, that have heavy personality flaws and can be forgotten by humans. The three Goddesses of LoZ are omnipotent beings with no personality that forged weapons of immense holy power. They cannot be compared. Although, again, Ganon should still be able to be beaten by enough force, I just don't see Palutena being able to deliver on that. Beating bosses are purely game mechanics, and we still haven't seen Palutena do anything or perform any of the abilities Pit has access to outside of the Smash games. You can assume so, sure, but I'm not exactly convinced of it. Ganon's physical abiities should far outstrip what Palutena's show off canonically.

Everyone has their own opinions, yes. But I still severely disagree with the outcome of this battle. Cheers.
