Oz was most likely frozen during the dark curse. We know this because Dorothy first came to Oz as a young teenager in "It's Not Easy Being Green", which takes place during the early stages of Regina's training with Rumplestiltskin, and her training began not long after Regina married King Leopold, when Snow White was ten years old (according to "Shattered Sight" and "Sympathy for the De Vil"). This means Dorothy is only a few years older than Snow White, who is, biologically, approximately the same age as Emma (in "The Heart of the Truest Believer", Emma says that she and her parents are the same age). If Dorothy had aged naturally, she would be in her late fifties/early sixties in "Ruby Slippers", but she is still a young woman in that episode. And when we meet Zelena in the EF in 312, after the first curse is undone, she is still the same age as before the curse.
