The gods are small birds
Ganon is afforded his position among the Gerudo as king due to the circumstances of his birth, it's hard to say how much authority those actually gives him but he's able to hold court with the king of hyrule and influence the nobility the to a certain degree. When Ganon does seize power in totality, which he is able to do in OoT, he loving destroys everything and unleashes a bunch of evil across the land. He imprisons the Gorons in stone and the Zora in ice. He turns Hyrule Market into an open air graveyard. Even in the past of that game he spends his time infecting community leaders with parasites and antagonizing native people with curses. He is attempting to upend the monarchies of the land but only for his own self-enrichment- even his own people, who are bound by the customs of their lands to worship him as a king, are used as pawns and freely sacrificed. The only real 'working class' behavior that Ganon does, at least in OoT, is that after he seizes power he kicks Talon out of lon lon ranch and puts his indentured servant, Ingo, in charge, who actually runs the ranch with a sense of competency and pride.

The Zelda games are, at their core, about the infinite dance across the ages of the Link/Zelda/Ganondorf polycule
