Like MM. Its kinda all the same, just different ways of playing out. Cora wanted to take the dagger to control rumple to kill henry's grandparents and emma, without regina looking bad, so its a win win, she will get regina back because she got him henry and she will get power. With Zelena, she wants a famly that wants her just like Ingrid, and to do that by going back in time and killing snow's mother, Cora would have kept Zelana while Leopold thinks that Zelena is his, win win right there she was kept by cora and cora is royalty. So just different machinations at play. Cora just couldn't get enough power, Zelena was just too jealous and Aunti vanilla was just feared and can't control her magic that drove Gerda to trap her.
