That would have made Zant a new reincarnation of Ganon rather than it's puppet. He would have been in the same level as Agahnim, Ganondorf, Vaati or Yuga. Even so, rather than Ganon, he could have used the Fused Shadows and became a more terrifying monster.

But Ganondorf didn't die yet. Ganon can't have a reincarnation if he is still part of Ganondorf. Or are you saying that Ganondorf should have died in OoT child timeline instead of being sent to the Twilight Realm? In that case, how would Zant know about hyrule and why would he want to conquer it? 

In the Ganondorf's execution scene in TP the game show us that Ganondorf somehow got the Triforce of Power. In Ocarina of Time, he doesn't need to be dead to transform into Ganon, he uses his part of the Triforce, just like in TP when you battle against Ganon before Ganondorf. He could have easily transfered from Ganondorf to Zant, or by the powers of the Twili, transformed from Ganondorf to Zant.
