Not really that big of a plot hole, he probably travelled back to our world the same way he got to Oz. At least in multiple tellings of Oz, the Wizard left by his hot air balloon. I think that there is a chance that Walsh is alive, if the monkeys that were shot just reappeared somewhere. Emma is the only one telling us that he died. Walsh being alive could add to the narrative for Captain Swan, if they wanted to. I mean, there is a reason why they were together for 8 months and she considered marrying Walsh when he proposed.
