How do I open these doors in the room with the dead king?

Question

I've made it to this room with a statue of a dead king, six doors with weapon images on them which contain different weapons (i.e. not the ones that they're labeled with) and a path that leads out of the room.

Presumably these weapon doors can be unlocked (and not with a small/medium/large key) and I can obtain the weapons behind them. How can I unlock the doors?

Answer

The weapon depicted on the door is the key to open it.

For example, this door...

...is opened by the Thistle sword.

You have to purchase (or acquire) that weapon, equip it, then activate the door. You then receive the weapon inside.
