Fascinating idea!

In our world, we've long believed that the Hero would appear as a divine beast.
That's why when I found you, I thought I could use you, Link.

It certainly sounds like a prophecy, but Midna doesn't mention any more specifics about it. We don't know if this prophesied Hero must save the Twili or anything else. While Ganondorf could certainly fit the bill as Ganon, he never exploits it with Zant, instead choosing to appear as a god rather than a divine beast. It's perfectly possible that if Ganondorf ever needed a physical form, he might have turned into Ganon... and Midna may have begun actively searching for the "true" divine beast, to counter him, even using some random canine Hylian she found, who turned out to be the actual Hero (at least, from where we're standing!).
Still, though, it is a brilliant idea, and would have made a fantastic parallel; what if Zant had run off into a deep forest and encountered Ganondorf as Ganon (trying to survive in the Twilight Realm), and took him for the sacred beast? It would mirror the scene where Midna finds unconscious wolf!Link in the woods...
