1) "Other forest"? No, "Sherwood Forest".

2) The Enchanted Forest is a world...how can you not know that already, what with all the times it's been said.

3) In the Enchanted Forest, things are different than, say, in modern-day USA. In modern-day USA, many many many people live in small areas. In the EF though, they're more spread out. For example, you have entire castles which take up insane amounts of space but only house one three-person family and some servants. Furthermore, the E has so much more scenery and places where people don't really live. All the lush green forests and such.

4) Plus, as someone already mentioned, we don't know how big Storybrooke is. Magic, yo.

5) Yes Robin Hood and Maid Marian are in Storybrooke as far as we know, we just haven't seen them yet. Go watch "Lacey" again, the Sheriff of Nottingham has a Storybrooke counterpart, the guy who hooks up with Lacey, so yes, Sherwood Forest was not encompassed by Cora's protective shield and therefore its' inhabitants are also in Storybrooke.

6) It's also possible Robin Hood and Maid Marian died before the Curse was enacted-seeing as we know little of them, it's entirely possible. However, this would probably be the only explanation for them not being in Storybrooke (There's always them having gone to another world before the curse was enacted, for example...we don't know their backstory, so..yeah.) But it can be assumed, as there's nothing there to lead us to think otherwise, that they're in Storybrooke. Especially considering the Sheriff's presence, you could call that a slight something to make us think they ARE in SB, so...yeah.
