Wouldn't the glamour spell (as it is called) fade away? Curses were broken with the curse, appearances were changed. He would have reverted back to himself. Even if not, Zelena's dead and her residual magic was used for the time travel spell.

I have no clue why they want to have recasting as a part of the continuity. There is no reason to. I guess since he's the only one recasted, they came up with this idea. The main point is Robin didn't have a Lion tattoo in "Lacey". So, continuity wise, Robin isn't the Robin Hood we know of. Or why would Zelena give him an unnecessary tattoo? Belle shouldn't have recognized him. After Ellis' Robin, she was locked up for years and curse, yada yada. That's a plot hole. Unless they are saying Belle was with Rumple for years, it doesn't work out. Zelena was around Good Regina learning magic. Regina took a break, and this is likely when she stopped training with Rumple and found Maguire's Robin with the tattoo. Who knows it might make since, but it's really unnecessary since in the general audience, no one remembers. I mean, they couldn't even remember that Regina wasn't actually Ursula and that was only a season ago.
