The ammount of combinations can already be crazy with what we know, and adding a second opinion to an existing character is a nice way of promoting this.
But please make sense with the decisions when "cloning". Ganondorf should use moves based on the Zelda games, not moves based off a character without moves in his own game for starters... Even if it fitted that character in particular.
What moves does ganon have in his games though? Nothing outside of a sword really, and we can't have him transforming or give him a sword moveset that would make sense. Ganon is a big character and it just makes sense that he would be a really strong, really slow fighter as opposed to a sword style that probably wouldn't fit his character or diversify him from any other of the million swordsmen in the game. There were only 3 "big men" in melee if i remember correctly and i think 4 swordsmen? We have 4 "big men" in brawl and 5 swordsmen (arguably 6 with pit)? Tipping the scales in favor of swords wouldn't be fair, especially if ganon would keep his "strong but slow" theme as a swordsmen since he would likely overpower the others with the range that a sword as strong as his character is now would have.
