In [[Oz]], the [[Zelena|Wicked Witch of the West]], Zelena, comes to possess an enchanted bow after assuming control of the [[Emerald Castle|Emerald castle]] since disposing of the [[Walsh|Wizard of Oz]]. From the [[Enchanted Forest]], a thief named [[Robin Hood (Lacey)|Robin of Locksley]] arrives, under orders from [[Rumplestiltskin]], to steal an [[Elixir of the Wounded Heart|elixir of the wounded heart]] from the Emerald castle, in exchange for clearing his tax debts. Although he disguises himself as one of Zelena's guards, she quickly realizes he is an outsider. With his cover blown, Robin grabs the enchanted bow from the room, but before he can fire at her, she has created two more illusions of herself to confuse him. As she figures out Rumplestiltskin sent him, Robin eyes the steam engine behind her and steadies his arrow on it. However, when she dissipates her illusions and throws a [[Witchcraft|fireball]] at him, he dodges and releases the arrow. It flies around the room aimlessly until hitting Robin's intended target, the steam engine, which fogs up the entire room. While Zelena is distracted by the fog, he escapes with the bow. {{Ep|Heart of Gold}}

A [[Robin Hood (Enchanted Forest)|thief]], who goes by the name Robin Hood, breaks into [[Rumplestiltskin]]'s [[Dark Castle|castle]] to steal a [[Wands|magic wand]] to heal a woman, [[Marian]], who he loves. When Rumplestiltskin appears to stop him, the thief threatens to shoot the [[Dark One's Dagger|Dark One]], telling him that the bow is enchanted, and that the arrow always hits its objective. As Rumplestiltskin does not surrender, Robin Hood fires the arrow, which hits him in the chest. Because the Dark One is immortal, the arrow has no effect on him. Rumplestiltskin takes the arrow out and makes the thief a prisoner in a dungeon and tortures him viciously. Later, after [[Belle (Enchanted Forest)|Belle]], Rumplestiltskin's new maid, set the thief free, the Dark One takes the bow and forces her to accompany him on the hunt to kill Robin Hood. When they finally meet the thief, Rumplestiltskin sees Robin Hood curing a sick and pregnant Marian with the use of the wand while Belle begs him not to kill him. Although he later denies it, Rumplestiltskin decides to leave Robin Hood alone and purposely had the fired arrow miss hitting him. {{Ep|Lacey}}

As he aims an arrow at Robin Hood, Belle convinces him out of it since Marian is pregnant, and killing her husband will make the child fatherless.

A bitter and vengeful [[Snow White]] plans to kill the [[Evil Queen|Queen]], and asks Rumplestiltskin how she may go through with it.

When Snow White inquires about payment, Rumplestiltskin says that he does not want anything and is simply invested in her future. As Snow White sets up a place from which to fire the arrow at the Queen and tests out the bow, [[Prince Charming]] sneaks up behind her. He embraces and kisses her; however, true love's kiss has no effect since she does not feel the same about him. Snow White finds him to be a nuisance, so she knocks him out and ties him to a tree. [[Jiminy Cricket]] finds Prince Charming and, after chewing through the ropes that bind him, suggests since he cannot make Snow White remember him, perhaps he should help her remember who she is. As the Queen travels down the road, Snow White draws back her bow ready to fire. In that moment, Prince Charming jumps in front of the arrow, and he takes the blow of the injury meant for the Queen. Snow White is baffled why he would do such a thing, and he declares it is because he loves her. {{Ep|Heart of Darkness}}

History

Before First Curse

In Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West, Zelena, comes to possess an enchanted bow after assuming control of the Emerald castle since disposing of the Wizard of Oz. From the Enchanted Forest, a thief named Robin of Locksley arrives, under orders from Rumplestiltskin, to steal an elixir of the wounded heart from the Emerald castle, in exchange for clearing his tax debts. Although he disguises himself as one of Zelena's guards, she quickly realizes he is an outsider. With his cover blown, Robin grabs the enchanted bow from the room, but before he can fire at her, she has created two more illusions of herself to confuse him. As she figures out Rumplestiltskin sent him, Robin eyes the steam engine behind her and steadies his arrow on it. However, when she dissipates her illusions and throws a fireball at him, he dodges and releases the arrow. It flies around the room aimlessly until hitting Robin's intended target, the steam engine, which fogs up the entire room. While Zelena is distracted by the fog, he escapes with the bow. ("Heart of Gold")

With his wife, Marian, pregnant and very ill, Robin Hood glamours himself with a Six-Leaf Clover he has procured from Oz, hoping Rumplestiltskin won't recognize him, before breaking into the Dark One's castle to steal a healing wand. When Rumplestiltskin catches him stealing, Robin Hood looses an arrow from the enchanted bow, hitting him in the chest. Since the Dark One is immortal, the arrow has no effect on him. Taken as prisoner, Robin Hood is flogged by Rumplestiltskin until Belle frees him. Furious, Rumplestiltskin then forces Belle to come with him as he hunts down the thief with the bow. The pair find Robin Hood healing Marian with the wand, but Rumplestiltskin is still unwilling to let things settle. As he aims an arrow at Robin Hood, Belle convinces him out of it since Marian is pregnant, and killing her husband will make the child fatherless. Reminded of his own son, Rumplestiltskin's resolve weakens and he allows the arrow to hit the carriage instead, scaring the couple into fleeing. ("Lacey", "Heart of Gold")

Becoming bitter and vengeful due to a potion, Snow White plans to kill the Queen, and asks Rumplestiltskin how to do it. He gives her the enchanted bow and arrow that "always hits its mark" and shows her the best location on the map to shoot the Queen. When Snow White inquires about payment, Rumplestiltskin says that he does not want anything and is simply invested in her future. As Snow White is testing out the bow, Prince Charming sneaks up behind her. He embraces and kisses her, however, true love's kiss has no effect since she does not feel the same about him. Snow White finds him to be a nuisance, so she knocks him out and ties him to a tree. Jiminy chews through Prince Charming's binds and suggests since he cannot make Snow White remember him, perhaps he should help her remember who she is. As the Queen travels down the road, Snow White looses the arrow, but Prince Charming takes the hit instead. She is baffled why he would do such a thing, to which Prince Charming attests he'd rather die than see her become evil. Surprised, her expression softens and she leans in to kiss him, which breaks the potion's effects on herself. ("Heart of Darkness")
