I see no reason to say that the Ganon who was originally sealed has to be the one we see in aLttP. The main point is that the seal was created, and remains.
The stories are designed to prep the player(Link) to face the villain. If Link were facing a different Ganon, they would have no reason to fill his head with unrelated ancient historical trivia involving a previous one. They would have told him about the recent Ganon, and how he was sealed. Also, the world being destroyed and rebuilt, is kinda a big deal, and one that seems worthy of mention if they are going to go through the trouble of describing an ancient set of events.
