Has Zelda ever been the focus anyway?  The only times I can think of are Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure.  Every other time, she's just a damsel in distress, and absent for 90% of the game.

Spirit Tracks, although that one wasn't without its own problems. :/

 

One could also argue that she wasn't a damsel in (most of) Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, or Wind Waker, but she didn't really get much screentime in those, regardless.

 

Fun fact: this was one of the three major moral issues I have with the series that inspired the plot of a quest I'm working on now.

Spoiler

The other two being Link's apparent lack of hesitation or remorse in destroying Koholint and the constant association of the Triforce of Power with evil. Both things I'd like to have seen done differently officially - though I get why the latter is a thing in every game so far (megalomania).
