Link and Zelda are reincarnated but Ganon isn't. Ganondorf is the same entity, sealed in the Sacred Realm or Twilight Realm. The Ganon in the Oracle games is only the physical shell of Ganon, because the attempted revival doesn't go to plan.
The only time he explicitly loses the Triforce of Power is in Wind Waker (he willingly parts with it to finally form the full Triforce), which is presumably followed by his final death in that timeline. The last glimpse of Ganondorf in TP is more ambigiuous, and doesn't explicitly confirm Ganon's demise. To me it seems more like the death of his physical body, and the Triforce symbol fading symbolises his spirit leaving that body, but other people interpet it as Ganon losing the triforce of power and dying a final death.
One thing I consider important when talking about Ganon, is the end of Wind Waker. The implication is that so long as Hyrule exists, Ganondorf will find some way to exist.
It's more difficult to speculate on Ganon's demise in earlier games, because of the modifications that have taken place to the timeline during the production of the series. I personally think details are likely to change from game to game for the sake of the most recent games' storyline, this also fits in with the series as a Legend-a story retold, morphing and changing over time based on who tells the story and what audience listens to the story.
