You're right on track with Zero's lightsaber.
If you upgrade your flame sword by getting another fireflower (or
whatever we will change it to), it will turn into the scepter, which you
can use to shoot fireballs, or whatever power we choose to give it for
long-range.
The same will happen with the ice/electric swords, but they will do
different things/hurt different enemies.  For example, ice sword could
probably freeze some smaller enemies and make them kickable like the
iceblock is, while I imagine that the fire sword would simply fry
enemies (that is, those that aren't immune to it... like fire enemies
would be) instantly.  Electricity? Hm.  I dunno what an electric sword
would do differently than a fire sword :)
