Voldemort goes against Sauron and gets swatted aside by the Ring's magic, and Sauron's gigantic sword because Voldemort is a pansy who only ever uses a wand, wears a single black cloak, and was killed by a teenager. Sauron then beats Voldemort down with his shadows like he did Gandalf in The Desolation of Smaug.
Now, as for the Ring and the Master Sword. The Ring was created by a necromancer of such great power that none of the wizards of the council of 5 (Gandalf, Saruman, Radeghast, etc.), and not even Galadriel could stand up against for more than a few seconds. His magic likely is far beyond that of Ganondorf, so while the Master Sword may dispel Dorf's magic, the Ring's magic is still far too strong to be threatened by the Master Sword.

The ring contains most of the power of one of the strongest Maia, and there was really only one known way to destroy it.
The Master sword is certainly powerful, but it hardly shattered opposing swords/shields/etc.. It's good at breaking curses and banishing evil, but it's hardly some artifact designed to smash artifacts, so I don't see there much chance of it destroying the ring.
Even not using the word, it has most of the power of a tremendously powerful being who Gandalf, the guy who killed the Balrog, didn't feel he could scratch with his magic sword or any of the resources of the elves, dwarves, or other ally and that the easiest option was literally in the enemy's stronghold.
The ring has a very hard to reach destruction threshhold, and a sharp enchanted sword, not something designed for destroying enchanted things to begin with, doesn't seem like it'd come close.
The Master Sword holds more power inside than the combined host of the Valar, considering it can counter the power of the Triforce. It's magic can also propel huge islands into the air.
Just like Isildur. Oh wait he killed Sauron and took his ring with a half destroyed sword. Voldemort decimates him but this isn't about the true dark lord.
That just means it is better suited against the Triforce. The point is when the ms clashed with the executioners sword nothing broke. It doesn't break swords let alone magical artifacts. The ms can cut through Dorfs skin but not break the executioners sword.
It has done so in A Link to the Past, Wind Waker, and A Link Between Worlds. In all three cases it's a barrier that covers Hyrule Castle.
In Twilight Princess, it destroyed the Twilight Blade that Zant used to bring Stallord to life. Not to mention countering the Triforce of Power and dispelling Link's curse. Also, I guess you could count it killing the creatures that were corrupted by the Mirror of Twilight.
In Skyward Sword, it cut through the swords that Ghirahim summoned, as well as Ghirahim himself (and he's a living sword.)
Please tell me the exact time that the Master Sword has to touch Link in order to dispel the curse on him. Oh, and when did it touch Midna while it sent her flying?
Gameplay mechanic. The Master Sword has canonically destroyed at least one other sword in Twilight Princess, and several more in Skyward Sword.
If you want to use gameplay, though, I can bring up the fact that the Master Sword cuts Darknut armor to pieces, and that no enemy in the game can block the Mortal Draw. I hope you remember, "There is no defense for this. The Mortal Draw deals death."
I'm sorry, Master, but I don't understand. I don't ignore context, so I can't comply with this order.
Isildur only cut the ring from Sauron's finger. It temporarily destroyed Sauron, but the ring kept most of Sauron alive, and corrupted Isildur even after its master was destroyed.
