Why does Ganon want to take over Hyrule?

Well, Ganon has the Triforce of Power, so maybe it corrupts him into wanting power over the entire world.

This is probably the most correct answer, but for some reason I doubt the OP was looking for the correct answer.

 

 

 I was.. I just thought that the 3 above are interesting.

Well in that case, Ganon (or Ganondorf in cerian games) is the controller of the Triforce of power.  Now with the Triforce of power, the conrolling individual of this trait needs to find ways to increase his power.  This need for power will always drive Ganon/Ganondorf to attempt to rule the known world in his attempt for absolute power over everything.

I don't think Ganon/Ganondorf's motives for ruling are in question, the bigger mystery is who/what Ganon/Ganondorf really is and what the reasoning behind capturing Zelda (has to do with the Triforce of Wisdom?).
