First of all, if the Emerald Acre Farm is located in the New Enchanted Forest, why does Zelena refer to it as "our realm" where aging is faster? If it is located near Tiana's kingdom, time should flow the same. Second, why does Regina say Robin grew up faster when Robin came to the NEF at 18 when Lucy was an infant and is now 25 on Lucy's 8th birthday? That's a normal aging process. Third, why didn't Regina visit Zelena and Robin for 8 years? The whole thing is really bugging me. I'm enjoying season 7, but the Robin timeline needs to be explained. I'm not a fan of shrugging off timelines like Regina. It ruins the story for me.

Alice's aging can easily be explained by her time in Wonderland and "other places," where, as we know from Once in Wonderland, time is drastically sped up.

Zelena's story would make more sense if she took Robin to Oz and raised her there. Still, Robin's age, 25, lines up with Lucy's age at 8, so there was no fast aging as Regina suggests. :/ Could imply that the entire NEF has faster age development.
