Just a silly idea I had... Ganondorf appears! But instead of doing bad things, spreading chaos, havoc, and general mayhem, he's negotiating peace-treaties, feeding the homeless, etc.
He's gained influence and power through peaceful means, and acts benevolently to his charges, even smoothing out human/monster relations to the point where you see moblins and other assorted creatures roaming the streets of Hyrule Castle Town, doing their laundry, selling vegetables, buying dinner, their children playing in the streets, and generally minding their own business.
Why? He got tired of losing. And it's driving the Goddesses batty. And he knew it would, which is why he did it. They can't send in Link's incarnation without him being the bad guy. Princess Zelda knows him personally, and even though the Goddesses prod her to get rid of him, she can't find any fault to attack without making herself look the villain. That could taint the entire legend of the Hero and the Master Sword, making the next incarnation difficult since the precedent wouldn't be available anymore.
So Dyne, Nayru and Farore are generally going nuts trying to figure out how to keep him from ending up ruling Hyrule before the century is over. And Ganondorf knows this. And he's laughing, oh is he ever laughing. They've tortured him with his role for generations and generations and he's finally getting payback.
How did this happen? Well, he turned evil at first because, as the saying goes, power corrupts. Corruption generally takes the form of Greed. Ganondorf wanted it all, and it seemed the easiest way to get it was to take it. After many losses, he's revised his opinion, and with the centuries he has had to think and the Triforce of Power-granted immortality, he's learned patience. He'll have it all this time because they'll give it to him.
He has money from using his sorcery to construct and produce in ways that it would take hundreds of hylians to do. He has political power from much hard work lobbying for the misunderstood races of Hyrule, having schmoozed with the cream of the crop, not to mention being personal friends with the King of Hyrule. There's no one with more wealth and power than him... except the King himself. And Ganondorf will have that title for himself in time as well; though it may be generations, a Princess of Hyrule will eventually fall for him, he is confident.
The Zelda of today isn't even a consideration. She dislikes him for reasons she cannot explain, and seeks to destroy him on every level... but has no cracks to call him deserving of it, and so can do nothing. Ganny has even gone so far as to speak with her privately, telling her exactly who he is and exactly what he's doing. Not to mention who she is, her purpose in prophecy, and all that. All of that of course, angers her even more. And Ganondorf laughs in her face when she reveals her reaction, his revenge served to one more who had oppressed him.
She of course, tried to tell her father that he wanted to supplant him as King. The King put Ganny at precautionary swordpoint and asked what she meant; he replied honestly with his dastardly plan, emphasizing how very evil it was to get what he wanted without hurting anyone or even being very sneaky about it. The King laughed, shook Ganny's hand and wished him the best of luck, as long as he'd wait his turn.
All of this, of course, is still driving the Goddesses batty. And Ganny laughs.
Yeah, this was just a funny idea I had. Ganondorf going good for the sole purpose of driving the Goddesses, with their neatly set up little plans, totally batshit insane. Not sure if it's got any sort of plot hiding in the idea, but I thought the concept was hilarious.
