Is it possible Will is back due to Maleficent's influence? She's a powerful witch on par with Regina (maybe Zelena). Since Gold reintroduced magic into Storybrooke at the end of season 1, and we know that Maleficent can regenerate/reincarnate, why wouldn't she be itching for a little magical revenge/payback against all the main characters? It may even be possible that she's working with the Snow Queen... (and thus Maleficent's (and Will's) story arc is smoothly flowed into part 2 of season 4).
