This is exactly my belief. I think that the three with the Triforce ultimately were chosen, perhaps not specifically detail for detail, but the goddesses knew that they would be the ones to recieve their piece of the Triforce. Which is why I mentioned above about how Ganondorf, not entering the SR in the CT, still recieved the ToP (in TP). There really would be no other way in my opinion that he would have just randomly recieved the ToP. He was about to die, so in order for the goddesses to keep their original plan in motion, he had to be granted the ToP in order to be kept alive, because it was not Link who was about to kill him. It was not the chosen hero defeating the chosen villain; It wasn't Courage prevailing over Power. That is why I think they kept him alive.
But, as Zeruda mentioned above, you must then question the goddesses' interfearance in the BS of WW, when they flooded Hyrule. In my mind, they should have left another Link to crop up, no matter how bad things got, in order to stick to their design for the Triforce. They had good reason to intervene in TP, IMO, because one of their chosen was about to die not by their design, but WW, Ganondorf finally had bested Hyrule and came out on top, but got the boot.
