It may be that realm-jumping is a learned skill that Rumple hasn't bothered to learn, frankly, because he doesn't need to. Jefferson can do it, and it's been told to us that there are others. He frequently uses others to do things he could do himself. That's his style.

Rumple may be able to do more magical heavy lifting, so to speak, but he's not prone to big displays of power or doing things out of rage, at least that we've seen. Zelena is nothing if not a ball of rage, after all.
