It's what the Apprentice said. We all are blank slates with the same potential to be good as evil. Rumple and Zelena were still reminesent of theirselves because as Rumple said they they can't change who they really are and who they will always be.

Pretty much everyopne in the AU lost their greatest attribute and was flipped. Rumple lost his cowardice (though still had his self perservation). Zelena lost her jealousy (though still had her selfishness). Snow lost her hope. David lost his valiance. Regina lost her anger and selfishness (Let's be real. Regina is quite selfish even now). Et cetera.
