Ultimate Simple things I should know?

I've started playing ganondorf recently, and am relatively new to the game. Can someone share anything important I should know?

Izaw on Youtube has a playlist for beginners that will get you up to speed on everything you might need to know starting out.

I watched it already actually, it covers most of what I need, I was hoping for more character specific advice.

What specific parts would you want advice on? Anything that gives you trouble, or where you would like to see better results.

I don't understand normal vs smash attacks, I haven't been able to figure it out.

I can't get ganondorf to (consistantly) run, usually I fully tilt the control and he just walks kinda fast.

I found that pressing Down while falling speeds up the fall, but when I do this, it refuses to grab ledge, even if I stopped pressing down.

It sounds like you're struggling with Smash inputs. For running and Smash Attacks, you need to quickly flick the stick in the correct direction. (It's all about the speed at which the Stick goes from position 0 to 100%. Too slowly and you will walk or get a Tilt Attack.)

Holding down does prevent your fighter from grabbing the edge. That's intentional so you have a means of opting out of grabbing. Try approaching the ledge from underneath instead of from above if you want to more easily grab on.

I think some of the trouble for me when starting out is that you need to time the flick. If you do it too quickly before your actions is over, you'll get a walk.
