These are all statements that we would assume go together, meaning that Emma cast the Dark Curse in Camelot by killing someone. But that assumption could be deadly wrong.

It could have been Emma, or someone else entirely. Although, Excalibur conveniently ending up in Emma's basement, would suggest that she was the enactor.... unless, she pulled a Zelena and hijacked the curse.

After the events of 5.08, Emma crushing a heart could be metaphorical. We saw Hook's heart shatter, when he learned the truth. Who is too say that his reaction was not the same, back in Camelot.
