It's a fair cop. They're only about her in the sense that in nearly every game you have to rescue her, although in some games she just straight doesn't appear, making the name completely ridiculous except as branding.

The title isn't entirely inaccurate, I suppose; The Treasure of the Sierra Madre isn't really about the Sierra Madre, is it? And the first game really was about fulfilling the legend surrounding a princess named Zelda.
