I am not so sure Gold is a hero, because he pulled Excalibur from the stone. Emma manipulated the circumstances, just so she could get her greasy palms on the sword. Which would mean that Gold is her puppet, weather he knows it or not. We might not know what Emma's endgame is, but clearly everything is going according to her plan. I cannot halp but wonder, if she is trying to change Fate.
 * So let me get this straight. It took certain characters (which I'm not going to mention) two half seasons to earn forgiveness from the Charmings, another half season to get the town's acceptance and a sparkle of light magic, another season to actually be called a hero and there's still hell of a road to go… while it took Rumple the first and only episode in which he didn't kill, threaten, manipulate or otherwise harm anybody to rise to Excalibur-Level Hero? (That's a hyperbole, calm down, you Rumple fans). Like, not even going to Charming-forgiveness level first, straightaway to Excalibur-Approved-Pro?
