I think you missed the point of the storyline... Zelena had a warped point of view on everything about her life. She did want revenge on Rumple (which she sort of got, by making him her pet) and Cora (who was dead), but she also always felt like Regina had taken her place in life. Zelena could have had everything that Regina had, but she was denied it. Even though Regina had a bit of a wretched life herself, which she often admitted, this only fueled Zelena further, because it made her angry that Regina had everything and still wasted it, and still wasn't happy with what she'd been given. Zelena was literally green with envy. Also, Elsa's first appearance comes as the cliffhanger to end a season on... how could it not be random?
