The heroes couldn't save him. Emma's plan couldn't save him. True Love couldn't save him. But randomly influencing .01% of the situation leading to Hades' demise saved him.

David was saved by True Love and barely dead for like a minute. Robin was never ressurected. True love would have saved Hook if Hades hadn't gotten rid of the ambrosia. I'd say any test for ambrosia would qualify Hook for any means of resurrection. He didn't just influence 0.01% of the situation, he provided the information they needed to defeat Hades. If it weren't for Hook Zelena wouldn't have known the crystal could destroy Hades. I also wouldn't say it was "random", given his deliberate quest to find the pages and the book and piece them together. If we saw Zeus giving Hook ambrosia, fine. But, he was a small part of the 5 people involved in destroying Hades.

I do wonder why we didn't have Zeus give Hook some ambrosia. It would have tied in with Firebird, and been a more elegant way to explain how Hook was able to come back.
