We know the Wishverse Enchanted Forest and Storybrooke timelines run parallel to one another. Henry and Emma were the same age in the wishverse as Storybrooke and everyone else aged 28+ years Due to time not being frozen by the curse.

So with that being said we Know Hook met Gothel within the same month Regina failed to cast her curse. The same Month Gothel also had Alice. We also know that be the time Gothel got free from the tower after having Alice that jacinda and Drizella was at the very least 8 years old. With that being said for Hook it was like 34 years that passed by before he had Tremaine make him young.

So Alice at the very least should be 34

Drizella should be 42, yes you read correctly

Jacinda 42, yes yes yes

The only way they could be younger is if time moves slower in the New Enchanted Forest than Storybrooke. However Adam and Eddy clearly make it seem like time moves faster. That would then make Jacinda, Alice and Drizella way older.

At this point in time the writers don't care about timelines. As long as it fits the story being told. This timeline doesn't fit the story. Clearly, Ella isn't 30+ years older than Henry. And we still need an explanation as to how Cecelia's heart was poisoned before Alice was born, but Alice was somehow with her when she died, clearly old enough to remember. Pretty much what I said. Despite the fact Jacinda should be over 30 years old story wise they are going to make her and others how old they need to be to fit the story they are trying to tell. So if the Story requires Jacinda to be in her 20's she will be in 20's despite the timeline because story requires it.

Also these are the things we Canonically know:

1. WishHook met Gothel 28+ years prior to meetin Tremaine again and becoming young.

2. WishHook had Alice Within the same year he met Gothel. Well Gothel had her technically.

3. Jacinda and Drizella were older than 5 years old when Gothel got trapped in the tower.

4. Lucy was 8 Years old when the curse was cast.

5. Robin is 25 years old.

What we don't know:

1. If Regina remained in the NEF the whole time. Same with WishHook.

2. When Zelena arrived to the NEF.

3. How long the people have been cursed.

What we know from writers/Actors:

1. Henry left Stroybrooke when he was 16. We learn this Via Colin.

2. It is 2017 in the current HH which we learn from Adam one of the Head writters and creator of the show.

3. Time moves faster or different in the New Fairy tale land via Adam.
