 * Ganondorf - In most games, he doesn't count for any number of reasons, whether it be standard rap sheets, mitigating features, or a valid Freudian Excuse. But in the context of both Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, he fits the bill. In the former his actions (which he usually directly did off-screen but we're left with the clear results) are truly heinous by the standards of the story, he shows no mitigating features or justification for his evil and power-lust, is feared and hated by others, and is unrepentant for his crimes. In the latter, he's partially culpable for Zant's crime and is depicted as pure evil. Even though he's the incarnation of Demise's hatred, he's been born into a physical existence who's fully aware of what choices he's making and has made a conscious decision to lay waste to Hyrule instead of empower his impoverished people.


 * Majora - There's no indication of it possessing alien morality: it might have alien insanity but it's still very much malicious and fully aware of the choices it's making, committing world-endangering atrocities purely because it finds them fun. It refers to it's mask's wearer "a puppet" and "garbage" when Skull Kid has outlived his usefulness and through the moon it expresses the desire to destroy and consume everything purely out of an evil, psychopathic, childish sense of self-fulfillment. The Lunar Children that manifest inside the moon and initiate all the final challenges against Majora aren't necessarily the same entities as Majora - Majora is the evil force within the mask that assimilated them and made them into it's manifestations. While the Lunar Children are all confused about morality, Majora itself seems much more knowingly malevolent,


 * Zant - He might have a mental illness that makes him stranger and more...opinionated than other Twili, his insanity doesn't impede his thought process in the slightest, as Midna stated he was an egocentric, entitled, power-hungry creep to begin with, and he was more than capable of keeping his wild side in check before cutting loose during his boss fight. Ganondorf didn't manipulate him so much as he provided him the means that he needed for his rise to power and the resources he used to commit his heinous deeds. The only direct manipulation there was Ganon taking advantage of Zant's madness and grandiose sense of entitlement by posing as a god, which might be what Zant's spirit snapping his neck to take Ganon's life source away signified - he was not at all pleased at having been played like that.


 * Ghirahim - Though born from a sword, Ghirahim and Fi are both shown to be their own entities with their own sense of moral agency and ethics. Ghirahim might have been born bad, but he chooses to be even worse than what's necessary for him and he relishes it. To add to that, his level of evil and heinousness actually eclipses Demise himself, which is no easy feat.
