With a ten year preparation time, Ganondorf comes to Azeroth with the intention to rule. Will he pull it of, or will Azeroth provide a greater challenge than he first expected?
This is after Arthas death, personalities are to be taken in consideration and Ganondorf only get the Triforce of Power. He also get his common minions with him.
Ten years...I suppose he could build a pretty good army with that. But still, d*mn the lack of good flying units. I wonder how a group of wizrobes that summon creatures would do, especially that one that could summon more summoners.
Would that eternal night curse make the Night Elves more powerful? Maybe he could send that storm with it, cover up the moon or something. (This has nothing to do with Ganondorf, but I now have a mental image of Majora's Mask crashing the moon into the Night Elf capital.)
There are characters alive post-Arthas that alone could rival Ganondorf. Taking on Hyrule is one thing, but Azeroth is a whole different league. The Six alone would give him problems, not taking in consideration Med'an, Tirion, Jaina and other active saviors.
His assault could force Azeroth to its knees, probably. Take it by storm and forcing it to submit, maybe. There is no way he could hold it, though. His minions are not strong enough and he will shortly after have everyone against him. The Scourge, the habitants of Azeroth and even the Burning Legion.
This being post-Arthas, it is only a matter of time before Deathwing returns and that more or less equal game over.
It was not for no reason that three out of four dragon Aspects quivered at the mere mentioning of his adopted name.
The Burning Legion tends not to keep alliances that have outlasted their use. Ganondorf, as intelligent as he is, would most likely figure it out. That would make one less ally for him, though.

Risks are that Ganondorf would probably hope to outwit Kil'Jaeden. Expect the end of their alliance and beat him to the chase, after Kil'Jaeden has served his purpose. That alone would end up a clash between wits, but because both pride themselves in their intelligence, it is hard to see how it would end
Ganondorf having ten years, I think he would decide to leave the Burning Legion out of this, not that they would be for long. The Old Gods would also like a part of this act. In the end, Ganondorf by attacking Azeroth would give an opening to so many threats. He will have started Deathwing's quest, will have given the Old Gods an opening and Kil'Jaeden could track down new doorways into Azeroth, doors closed before Ganondorf stepped in. He will end up destroyed by Azeroth's enemies.
Truth be told, personalities taken in consideration, it is impossible to have the outcome of this foretold. Too many parts of the equation that can not be excluded.
The only thing that would have a definite ending, would be if Ganondorf has a habit of playing with time and ended up meddling with Nozdormu's realm.
Given Ganondorf's skills at necromancy and creation magic (notable feats include reviving the extinct species of Dodongos and Volvagia, and the Redeads, Gibdos, and Stalfos in his army), he should be able able to raise a massive army. Not to mention his mass mind control of the Hylian Royal Guard. I wonder if he could turn the Scourge...
Of course, Ganondorf's MO is more manipulative. He tends to get others to do things for him. I'd see see him corrupting or controlling someone to help him. He could even pose as a god again. He also tends to target those that are a threat to him (Link excluded for some reason.) See: cursed the deku Tree and Jabu-Jabu, killed the Sages that powered the Master Sword, etc. He's also used sabatage in the past, like when he sealed the entrance to the Goron mines to starve them or froze all of Zora's Domain (twice). Given 10 years prep and planning, Ganondorf could cause absolute chaos. Adding CIS makes this ridiculously devestating.
Ganondorf convinces every guild, city and institutional government that he (or his subordinate) is the answer to all of their problems. Within 10 years, all political power is handed to him with little to no physical persuasive action.
Heck, Ganondorf has the ambition, sob story, and power to convince any nation to get under his dominance or be exterminated.
Well, Agahnim put out a few fires in Hyrule and was exalted to chief advisor to the king, a position where he was able to easily brainwash Hyrule's soldiers to do his bidding.
So, for Azeroth, we do the same thing on a larger scale with a mightier man, except this time there is no [PIS]Master Sword[/PIS].
But seriously, it probably wouldn't be that easy. But 10 years is a long time...
I assume the more powerful entities in Azeroth are not going to make much of a stance against dorf? the Dragons are going to lazily sit in their homes and let the mortal races deal with this?
Well powerwise this is easy to tell, but Ganon can be manipulative.
Where is he for 10 years exactly? in his own realm, then he gets ported to Azeroth or does he get to travel Azeroth for 10 years before they assault him or something?
