wow, that is a REALLY good question ._. erm... oh I know, the slippers that zelena has. The witches of oz don't have the power to cross realms (or at least not glinda) so zelena shouldn't either, SO she had to go to the wizard of oz to get the slippers that could. when zelena left rumple, it sounded like the slippers could get him to the land without magic. and, if she didn't have the power to cross realms, how did she banish glinda to the enchanted forest? the slippers. maybe she doesn't have to click them to get OTHERS to other realms, and she sent a flying monkey to the land without magic, therefor eliminating the border that stops magic, allowing the flying monkey to maintain its form, or change into walter (though still the mind of a flying monkey under zelena's control) and get to new york. That's the best explanation I could come up with in 15 minutes.
