Plenty of people say that TotK Ganondorf doesn't know about the Triforce, but him not mentioning it isn't necessarily proof that he does or doesn't know about it. He may not know about it, or might but not know its current whereabouts, making him settle for the Secret Stones in the era of Rauru's (re)founding. Howecer, saying that a character doesn't kknow about something because they don't mention it is fallacious reasoning.
In the JP version, (found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eu42Oj7XRJSwkFugowhsJReW6UzY2MyfYHnAJwAtOcs/edit) Ganon recognizes the MS as soon as he awakes from his seal. Sure, Rauru told him about it, but not what it looks like, so if they're not meant to be the same, then is quite peculiar that he would recognize it.
Also, in the JP version, Sidon says that Ganondorf has resurrected AGAIN after defeating Phantom Ganon, meaning that he has been sealed and/or destroyed and revived before. This is made clear in CaC, where it says that he continued to be revived until he became malice itself. Also, Sidon of all people should be a good source of information due to the Zora's history retention skills(see the monuments about Ruto).
Interestingly, Ganon is ''coded'' as an OoT-era Gerudo. He's literally the only Gerudo to have round ears in the refounding era, which also applies to not only to him in OoT, but the other Gerudo of that time, whereas the other BotW/TotK Gerudo do not. CaC(and maybe BotW, I'm not sure) even makes a point of saying that the Gerudo from long ago had round ears and that modern ones don't due to losing their connection with the gods, so this had to have been intentional.
Also, CaC and BotW both make it clear that the Ganon that became Calamity is the result of OoT's Ganon descent into malice after multiple revivals and defeats, with BotW saying that CG used to be known as the ''Great Demon King''(JP) and the ''Great King of Evil''(EN):

These titles are given to OoT Ganondorf, but not FSA Ganondorf, who is the only Ganon confirmed to be different. And since Impa says that TotK Ganon is the one that became CG, this means that both BotW/TotK Ganon and OoT Ganon should be considered the same, alongside the fact that Aonuma confirmed that BotW takes place in a world with many battles with Ganon, and that we should be able to figure out the timeline based on that. How can we do that in a world that has seen many battles with a Ganon we don't know? He was referring to BotW Ganon when saying this, and since we know that TotK Ganon is the same person as CG as per Impa, we know that in order for this to be true, it must be the Ganon that we are all familiar with.
