the indirect evidence seems to support a "time froze in magical realms" theory. It explains the characters of Wonderland not aging, as well as Zelena. We safely know that Alice was in Wonderland before the Curse, for example. She clearly didn't age during, supporting the theory. Same with Anastasia, although we can argue that time in Wonderland may not flow the same as other worlds or may flow at varying speeds, but I tend to believe the simpler; time stood still and people didn't notice.
