Hence how midas is still healthy enough to not starve despite the golden touch, but still can turn things to gold. The magic only extends to his hands rather than his feet or lips like in the older myth. As this was a curse similar to [[Franchise/XMen Rogue's]], Midas learned to live with it, with his price being never able to hug his daughter again without armor on.

* Jossed in the episode “Ariel”. She was unaffected by the Dark Curse and is living in Neverland. Regina does turn her into a mute in their first encounter though.

But, YouCantGoHomeAgain. Not only is she 2 curses removed from the Arendelle she once ruled, but I somehow doubt it was in Cora's bubble when the first curse was cast, meaning the country got wrecked by the dark curse. Whether or not Anna turns out to be in Storybrooke might be the difference between whether Elsa can StartANewLife or turn out like so many of the other villains on the series.

The idea stems from two facts: that Walt Disney was an author at one point and that a deleted page had Regina meeting Robin Hood at the inn. For the first thing, it implies that the way the stories went for Disney, they went exactly as the Disney Animated Canon had it. Otherwise, there'd be some really dark stuff happening in movies like, say, Peter Pan. Next, the page where Regina met Robin Hood at the inn implied that her story would have gone a happier route, but something (namely an author) was stopping her from getting it. These two points suggest that the Brothers Grimm ended up making a TwistedFairyTale out of the Enchanted Forest, [[{{Grimmification}} darkening them in the process]].

They already need to find Merlin and Emma, who probably aren't in the Land Without Magic anymore and maybe not even in the same realm of storytelling; what better excuse to explore them? It also might be a good way to solve [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse some unfinished plotlines]], such as Dr. Whale/Victor Frankenstein's ressurected brother, the HappyEndingOverride of Series/OnceUponATimeInWonderland, and whatever the hell happened to King George and all the characters DemotedToExtra. Extra points if it brings back Jefferson, Anton, the White Rabbit or another realm-traveller we haven't seen in a while.

* That oddly seems likely. After all the Cheshire Cat always seems to know more about what is going on than anyone else, to add more to this theory though it's possible that he manipulated the Queen in order to allow him to leave wonderland(maybe with Regina's Father as the exchange). Him raising the boy to power also seems to benefit himself as he has more freedom that way because [[AliceMadnessReturns cats are not known for their altruism]].

In OnceUponATimeInWonderland, Will says how he had a younger sister who fell through ice when they were younger. He doesn't elaborate, so the audience, and Alice, is to infer that she died. What if, instead, the family struck a deal with Rumple. They asked that he bring her back. He does so (what they give to him in return is beyond me) but warns that there will be consequences and that she might ComeBackWrong. She comes back to life but develops her ice powers, similar to the element that killed her. In despair, and not knowing how to handle her, her parents ask that Rumple help her control her powers, which he does by putting her in the bottle. Perhaps the bottle is similar to that of a genie, so that she was still able to grow up but was isolated all that time. In the bottle she was able to harness her powers to a small extent, but once released she just ends up letting it go, as it were, and that explains why the ice spreads as she walked away in the finale. After she is put in the bottle, Will's memories are erased so that he doesn't remember her after she falls through the ice. This is done because he fought against his parents allowing her to go with Rumple. So they did what they had to do to ease his pain. This is kind of out there, but does have some supporting evidence. The showrunners have already stated that Will will become a recurring character on the upcoming season. As well, this would be a great way to connect the two shows. Plus there are the parallels between Will and his sister on the ice and Jack and his sister from ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians''.

She's after Will, to punish him for stealing from her fortress in OnceUponATimeInWonderland. She may even be responsible for Anastasia's disappearance. This also explains why Will and his lost love were mentioned in the same episode in which Ashley/Cinderella reappeared, since Anastasia is her stepsister.

To ensure their daughter would be good, they sacrificed Maleficent's in a BloodMagic ritual. There's honestly very few other options I can think of that would leave her that vengeful and them that guilt-ridden. When this comes out ([[MurphysLaw because of course it will]]), Emma will treat it like a MoralEventHorizon, and that will leave her open for the corruption Gold is hoping to take root in her heart.

SolomonKane was a 16th century Puritan and the LWC is shown to be more similar to our world than the Enchanted Forest. He could have killed off most of the magic users.
