I just wanted to be sure of one other thing - so Henry is in the wish realm. And it says "many years later" in the opening when Henry is grow into a different actor. So does time run differenly in the wish realm too than it does on Earth? I mean, Hook, Regina, and Emma only went from early 2017 to late 2017, but for Henry a lot more time passed, like maybe 4 or 5 years? First of all, Henry isn't in the Wish Realm, he's in the New Enchanted Forest. There's a difference -- while the first is possibly created by a wish and depicts all of the same characters in a life where Regina didn't cast the curse, the second is an entirely new realm like Wonderland or Oz.

Secondly, the implication is that time in the New Enchanted Forest runs faster. I don't think it's been explicitly confirmed, though.
