So I know considerably more about Aku than I do about Ganondorf, so I'm obviously a bit more biased towards Aku.

Aku is LITERALLY IMMORTAL. He is actually a scrap of pure evil that managed to escape the purge that the deities of light carried out at the beginning of time, made it to Earth, and festered for countless eons, before truly taking shape.

Jack's katana is the only thing that can actually hurt him, but by the admission of both Aku AND the original wielder of the blade (Jack's father), the sword can't kill Aku, only seal him away. Thus, Ganondorf has no actual method to beat Aku.

Now, I've heard from Zelda fan friends (my favorite Zelda game doesn't actually have Ganondorf in it), that Ganondorf is also functionally immortal, weak only to the Master Sword and Light Arrows. Therefore, Aku ALSO has no method of beating Ganondorf.

So this fight results in one of two ways: an eternal stalemate, the two fighting endlessly. (I don't know if Ganondorf can die from aging, but Aku can't). Or two, Aku gets bored and concedes the fight to pursue other objectives.
