Right so I have two theories for the meaning of this title. One, the Garden of Forking Paths is an actual place. Maybe a sort of limbo between the storybooks, a place where all the books can be accessed? If any of you have read the Sisters Grimm series, you'll know that the Grimm family has a magic mirror. Specifically the original magic mirror that belonged to that universe's Evil Queen, because there are others in that series. Anyways, in those books the mirrors were sort of like pocket dimensions and each had its own guardian that resided in it, like a caretaker. Each one was created for a different purpose (if I recall correctly, there was one that was made to be a sort of vacation resort hotel) and the original mirror was a nearly endless hallway that took several hours in a super fast specially made tram to go down, it would take weeks to walk on foot. This hallway was lined with doors, each with a different purpose and something different behind them- mostly storage for different types of magical items. There was one that had all the fairy wands, and one that had stuff from Oz, but there were also dimensions and stuff behind them like the Snow Queen's Homeland and some were even prisons for various dangerous creatures. In short, the mirror was a hub for all the worlds. I'd imagine the Garden to serve a similar purpose if it's a place- maybe somewhere where the Author can access all the realms or story? That would make it a likely Henry-centric.

Another possibility is it being a metaphor, dealing with either how we got to the present or what people are doing in the present. Something along the lines of people having many choices, and each one leads to another choice and another path, with the possibilities always growing and infinite endings possible. This interpretation does give a good chance of being a Regina centric, because who has struggled with choices and finding a good ending more than her? Of course, it could be one of the new characters instead. Maybe Cinderella or Tiana or Alice?
