Ganon has so many minions such as Moblins, Bokoblins, Stalfos, Wolfos, and etc. Are they evil or are they under his power, possibly brainwashed, or even convinced to serve him like say Bokoblins who respect strength.

I think we are meant to see them as evil in earlier installments, but in later games I think there is some nuance.

Fan Article: Ocarina of Time Bosses Ain't that Bad - Zelda Dungeon
The following is a fan article from Zelda Informer Forums member Dizzi. Dizzi claims she is not a troll, but this entire submission was written in rainbow Comic Sans (see here). Whatever the case, we were truly entertained. Without further ado…“Ocarina of Time Bosses Ain’t that Bad”. I was...

did dat!! it was written years ago...Ooh can you share a link to the article? If you don’t mind that is.
Oh nice! Great article, I totally agree Gothma is jusy protecting her babies, and Volvagia I think is just a dragon chillin in Death Mountain, I mean where is a dragon gonna hang? Near lava of course haha.
Phantom Ganon is tragic cuz he is magical dopplaganger like Dark Link, they are like golems of black magic and I feel sorry for them.. they did not choose to be evil, they were made that way by sorcery.
Ganon can be seen, ask @Bowsette Plus-Ultra as not evil but trying to help his people The Gerudo. Bowsette has the most flushed out theory and explanation.
Its great, you ought to do one of Botw or another Zelda game.

In Twilight Princess especially, it's clear that Boblins, and other creatures only see power as a way to prove loyalty. I feel like a lot of Zelda enemies are more or less minding their own business, but have a tough life being outcasted. So they turn to the only person who is willing to give them a place in the world. Seeing Ganon as powerful, and recognizing only strength. They follow his path, but are willing to not abide by any alliance. Even in the first installment, there are some Moblins who just pay Link to leave them alone. It's obvious they just wish to survive, but only see power as a way to get what they want. Poor guys only want peace.

Breath of the Wild, and even the other games, they only attack when you get close to their territory.
This is a valid point of view. People in desperation resort to power being their means of protection, I think of the Sith in Star Wars. Darth Bane said in Path of Destruction that the reason people were joining The Sith in the war is because The Republic does not care about the Outer Rim, that in those territories people are outcasts and abandoned, and they seek someone to help them rise, and become less dejected, and so they turn to the darksiders.
A Link To A Past would be great, memorable bosses.
I have vacillated on the options, I am inclined to go traditional with they are evil.
Basically they are monsters already and willing to kill when necessary. I don't think they are evil but they sure are creatures you don't wanna hang out with just for fun.
Although in BotW I did hang out with them

I think of those enemies like Orcs in the lord of the rings.. they were made and born as evil
