This should probably be its own thread, though... I'm inclined to believe A&E about the wish creating the Wish Realm.

Therefore, the world was created around the real Emma, so there was never a Wish Realm Emma to begin with. There technically was one, because Real Emma has those memories, but she embodied the same space and body as the Real Emma, so she may as well have never existed.

And as for Robin not aging, he may very well have been old and gray when Emma's wish created the Realm. Or he may not have been there at all. But it's extremely obvious that he was rejuvenated/created when Charming wished for the Queen to get everything she deserved, since she ended up with Robin at the end of her arc.
