Even more when you take in count that Ganonforf from Twilight Princess did nothing to you. In  OoT, he is the evil man behind the good guy disguise that use you to enter to the Sacred Realm and obtain the Triforce. Also, he is the main villian all the game, not just the last five minutes. On the other hand, Ganondorf from Oot was a threat to Hyrule, in the same vein Zant was in TP. Not Ganondorf.

TP used the same convention that ALTTP, and FSA used: have a puppet villian. At least Zant is more fleshed out than either Agahnim or Vatii. And both Twilight Princess and Windwaker were games meant to show the reprucussions of actions in OoT in diverging timelines. It makes sense to explain what happened to Ganondorf in Twilight Princess for that reason. Actually I think Twilight Princess set a lot up for Skyward Sword with the ancestors in the sky stuff, and its portrayal of Ganondorf's strength feeding off hatred (Zant's.) That's the first time Nintendo has been foresightful in their story telling in LoZ rather than piecing it together retroactively, in a while. 

The point is, that ALTTP needs of Ganon to succesfully ends. TP don't. Zant could have been a better final boss if they kept the serious look, never looking at his face behind the helmet, and being a powerful enemy. He should have transformed into Ganon at the end.

I would have do this: At the end of the Palace of Twilight you face Zant, and while you defeat him, he is not dead. He dissappear and then appears into Hyrule Castle. Then, in Hyrule Castle you face him with his true power. Ganondorf can't leave Zant's body and he returns to the Twilight Realm. Or at least something around that.
