I guess they had to put her on the back burner in S3, because the focus was on Pan and Zelena as the main villains of that season. It also was hinted at, near the end of the season, that Gold would be returning to his villainous ways after he killed Zelena and then tried covering it up and also lied to Belle. It was hinted that Elsa may be the next villain at the end of S3, because of how Regina said "You'd better hope to hell, you didn't bring anything else back with you." To Emma, indicating that being a bad thing. Plus Elsa destroyed the cap on the urn, so in her cameo appearance, it looked like she was going to be trouble. But then the writers decided that she wasn't going to be evil. So who knows what will happen.
