But what about the items needed to form the portal? By that point, they were all removed from the space the portal was opened. o_O

You still remember the ritual circle that mr.Gold created so that Zelena could put the 4 elements in it ? In case it's not deleted or digged, the elements is considered to be existed. And since Zelena had gone ( when her body had gone, the powerful magic was converted into the necklace), the necklace began to release the unlimited power. Thus, the portal was opened.

The circle was also the reason why Elsa appeared. I'm still curious what was the blue liquid containing gold thing and where it came from at the end of the finale?
