Ganon/Ganondorf Distinction

"Ganondorf" is the name of the incarnation of the Apocalyptic One. "Ganon" is the name he takes upon touching the Triforce; the title of "Demon King." While the distinction between man and beast forms, has been made for as long as A Link to the Past, the exact reasoning was not revealed until Ocarina of Time.

The Japanese version of The Wind Waker however, is not consistent with this, but in an instance of irony, the English version is (except for when Ganondorf refers to himself). It stands to reason he is not known as "Ganon" in Twilight Princess, because the Triforce's wish is not recorded historically in that continuum
