I'll expound on that brief answer. Legal issues would arise as the rights aren't owned by Disney and its lore is far too broad and far more successful than Once could ever be, thus even in narrative form it would not appear. I think there are probably many worlds we will never get to.

So, legally can it be? No.

If they got the rights, could it be? Yes, but it would probably not appear.

Could they get the rights? Never in a thousand years. Well, not that long. XD

If all that could be solved, would the writers do it? Well, they already had a Snow Witch a year ago and Narnia is too vast and it would just be Narnia: the TV mini series (which sounds like a better idea). It would also be for this reason that they shouldn't have Harry Potter or Lord Of The Rings. A cameo by Star Wars perhaps, but I don't see that working I seem to remember in one of the seasons of  OUAT, Regina was reading a spell that was in Elvish. Isn't that kind of a LOTR Easter Egg? That may suggest Middle Earth does exist among the OUAT worlds, despite how unlikely it might be for it to come into the series.

Yes and no. Elvish would literally just be the language of elves, and while LOTR's may have a unique take on them, elves have existed in folklore for much longer.
