They are evil. Plain and simple. In the context of the world of Zelda and its worlds lore anyway. Unlike our own world where the existence of deities and objective morality is questionable. In Zelda it is not the case at all. The Gods exist with 100% certainty and therefore those that work against the Gods, especially creatures not created by them would be classified as evil and a part of the forces of evil.
Are Ganon’s Minions Evil?

That is my view too, “twisted by the dark powers.”

Mindless monsters cannot be evil, simply because they have no minds or wills of their own (which is required to commit evil).
However, dark magic may be able to be used to create beings that are mindless, yet evil at the same time.
Or maybe they are not mindless, and either naturally have evil intentions, or were made to be evil, were given evil orders etc.

I think they are belittled by the triforce of power because they may serve ganon but their society is based on a hierarchy of who’s the strongest. So Ganon having the literal triforce of power means he’s the strongest and can make them do his bidding.
This viewpoint has lots of merit. What about in Botw/ Totk? Do you think the Bokoblins and other minions sense the Triforce of Power in Ganon despite he does not seem to wield it?

He still has power in those games just in a different way. For example in BOTW he uses sheikah tech and in TOTK he uses a secret stone these are other forms of power meaning he can still belittle monsters but in a different way.
Does it ever in the guides or manuals say if Ganon created the Moblins and Bokoblins? Or was Ganon originally a Moblin himself?
He shares the pig features with them.
