His goal may have been sympathetic... until he turned his realm's inhabitants into mindless beasts (you see a group roaming around the entrance to the palace), and began to conquer and lay waste to Hyrule. As for his mental state, it's another case to where I might be willing to consider it as a mitigating factor... if it also wasn't for the fact that he's more than capable of acting perfectly sane, cold, and calculating for a huge chunk of the game showing that he is capable of self-control and restraining his wild side until the very end. And as far as the ending scene where Ganondorf sees him snapping his own neck, you seriously seem to be the only person I've ever seen interpret it like that. Most people view it either as Zant turning on Ganondorf out of spite (a taking you with me sort of thing, or viewing Ganondorf as pathetic and not what he's hyped up to be for losing to you, take your pick) or as symbolism for Ganondorf losing his ground with the Twilight Realm.
