So, now we know why Regina/Hook/Emma/Gold did not age: You have done a relatively large time jump. Is there anything you can say as to just how far ahead we are, both in flashbacks and in Hyperion Heights? HOROWITZ: I would say that it’s not as simple as it appears, and we get into that in the first couple of episodes. KITSIS: I would say as long as it takes Henry to go from Jared to Andrew. HOROWITZ: But it’s not as simple as it looks, because we’re not in the year 2030. KITSIS: Yes, we’re not doing sci-fi. As we’ve said in the past, some realms move at their own time. HOROWITZ: But we get into how all that works very quickly, but the present-day Hyperion Heights, Seattle stuff takes place in 2017.

So, Henry went older a waaaaaay faster because he was in another realm where time went faster than it did in the LWM ^^
