I guess because of the raw level of power Zelena has. As a helpless baby she could bend and break that tree. When Zelena was born, Cora had the potential for magic in her, but at that point hadn't met Rumple or had any training yet. Zelena's dad doesn't *have* to be a magician, but she has a raw level of power unmatched, so it's not a misfounded call to say both her parents were high in magic potential.

What I mean is that we shouldn't narrow this to just a wizard, because if Cora had the potential to and also had Zelena with her true love then it is not necessary for him to be a magician or anything, because Emma has potential for magic while Snow and Charming don't just because she is the product of true love, giving Zelena the plus of magic potential from her mother which could be the reason why she is so powerful. We haven't seen any case of a baby who is product of true love and also has a mother that has the ability for magic, so who knows how powerful that could be, true love is the most powerful magic there could be.
