So, I have a theory. We're supposed to find out about why Robin Hood looks different and  how Snow and Charming don't know about the Dark Curse in the Pilot, and the effects of Emma and Hook's trip to the past. What if the reason is that different authors= different worlds or versions of worlds? After all, some of them had to disagree with other versions of stories. Maybe some of them used their power to alter the stories.

This would explain why Walt's versions are different than OUAT, why certain cultures have different versions of the same fairy tale, how Charming and Snow could meet while she's robbing his carriage and at the Ball, why Robin Hood appears different, etc.
