You guys need to realize something. There are two types of people out there, Ganondorf Fans and Smash Ganondorf Fans.
Ganondorf Fans love the character for who be is in his games outside of Smash. Smash Ganondorf Fans love the character because of how he plays. So by that logic, as long as that playstyle, moveset, and traits still exist in the game those Fans should still be happy. Right?
I sort of hate this idea that how the characters are represented in Smash is somehow more important than who they are in their games. No, its who they are in their games that is most important and Smash should do its best to reflect that. They should come up with a moveset and traits that are based on the character's appearances in their series, and then make alterations in order for said character to work in Smash.
For example, ROB in real life can't actually move about the place. Dude's got got no legs! But in Smash you have to be able to move around. So they gave him jets. See, that's okay. With Captain Falcon, the guy never leaves his F-Zero machine, so he's literally a blank slate. They made up a completely original moveset for him, and that's okay.
Also that M.Bison/ Ken argument made earlier doesn't work. See those characters are FROM Street Fighter! The moveset they have is who they are and they shouldn't change that. But in Smash its not the same case. These characters aren't from this game and therefore they shouldn't have to be tied to that moveset.
As for Black Shadow, he's much like Falcon. He comes from a game where characters don't do anything outside their vehicles. So you can give him anything you want! Why not give him Ganondorf's current moveset?
