Isabelle wins this MU.
Ganondorf's slow mobility makes it easy for her to space with slingshots and run away set up Lloid traps making it easy for Isabelle zone Ganon. Isabelle is faster than Ganon in the air and Ganon's height makes it easy to land slingshots. Llloid traps make approaching hard for Ganondorf and if Ganon approaches in the air Isabelle can use fair or bair and Ganondorf is too slow to punish those moves. Offstage Isabelle can edge guard Ganon easily with dair while uair can making landing hard for Ganon. However Ganondorf is more powerful than Isabelle and she also has slow ground mobility.
In honesty, Isabelle is always fair against most heavies. Ive never had a problem playing against Ganon as an Isabelle main. Nor should anyone. Ganon has limited options for recovery against trappers. He does have a chance if he can break through Isabelles defense at a early percent however, so i would not say hes totally helpless. But overall by using spacing tools such as sling shot, gyroids etc, you can limit his main offensive options as a character. If you really wanted to see a character Isabelle has a overall advantage with, i would say this is it. (Isabelle is still not a great character though, other zoners would still do better. Even though I main her, I have to she still can lose easy even to her best matchups.)
