I run around the child era and there are peahats all over the place attacking travellers and at night the dead rise to harass me endlessly.

I go to the adult era, and hey, Hyrule has really been cleaned up. No more skeletal assault or roving monsters. Sure, castle town might have some perhaps controversial municipal infrastructure alterations, but overall I'd say ganondorf has been doing a great job in his term as uncontested tyrant ruler.
