Regarding Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf "heritage"...

"Link" is almost always a different person, with no relation to past Links. The series has, at minimum, 8 different characters "named" Link. Often has a family member present in the game (or mentioned).

Zelda is always a princess, and thus always some relative of past and future Zeldas.

Ganondorf is... the same person. His exposure to the Triforce (and various other occultish items... and several deaths) have granted him relative immortality.

I agree with this, however I think it should be said:

There is no such thing is a linked storyline for every Zelda game.  There are only 5 Zelda games that are in any way connected:

Ocarina of Time

Majoras Mask

--thousands to hundreds of thousands of years pass-- 

Twilight Princess  

--hundreds of thousands of years pass-- 

Wind Waker

Phantom Hourglass

 

That's it.  If you try to connect anything else you will only end up looking like an idiot lol.  Every Zelda game simply does not connect.
