The crucial things we need to know are are: first Dark One, hoe she came to be, the Dark One preceding Rumple, Rumple and now Emma. I don't think they're going to cover the 300 years between Nimue and Rumple. They shouldn't, honestly. But the death of Nimue is definitely something that ties into the Dark One mythos. When the Dark One stopped being a person (Nimue) and became a title (her successor).

And don't forget, what we're seeing is Nimue's Darkness, not Nimue herself. The visions in Emma's head (Rumple and Nimue) are the concentrated Darkness of all 10+ Dark Ones, not the actual people themselves.

Maybe the real Nimue died like Zoso did? She regretted what she did to Merlin and decided to have herself killed?
