Or someone else who still had yet to came to Oz. It could have been Dorothy who was the greaest evil, but Zelena didn't know the full extent to the prophecy. Prophecies come true only if people obsess over it. It is why she no longer dedicated her time focusing on future, because she already knew what it would be. Okay she didn't ACTUALLY know, but she believed she already knew what it would result in. That is why she wanted to change her past. She clearly hated the cards she had been dealt and was willing to sacrifice a bunch of lives for a whole new hand. Which could have been even worse than what she already was given. I can just imagine her being annoyed by Cora's helicopter parenting. Just because Zelena set out to change one part, didn't necessarily mean it was going to out to be the way she wanted it to be exactly. Her mother could still have been power-hungry and learn magic as well. Honestly, If Zelena changed the past, she could have replaced Regina (Who would have never existed by then) and get EVERYTHING she got. Including the bad parts like A horrible mother, being an evil queen hated by her people, and loneliness.
