Well, after watching this episode I’m very curious about Robin Hood. We haven’t seen much about him. So I wonder what his story is. He didn’t say very much about himself and even the Sheriff also didn’t say much about him. But based what saw I have two questions about him.
1.How did he get the bow?
The bow is defininitely magical. It always hit it’s target. Robin Hood himself is not a magical Character. So he get the bow somewhere from. Maybe he stole it or maybe someone give it to him.
Does anyone know, if a bow which always hit it’s target is somewhere mentioned in myths or folklore. Well I’m not sure. But I think that I read once somewhere that the bow of the greek god Apollon always hit it’s target, but I’m not sure where and I don’t know if it’s true or if someone just added it to the myth.
So the bow can also be just some magical item which exist in enchanted forest.EDIT: Oh I didn’t saw that other thread about the bow…
2.How did he know that the wand he need to heal his wife was in Rumplestilskin’s castle and why did he know how to use it?
I guess someone must have told him about it. But the questions is who? Who would know that Rumplestilskin has that wand. Maybe someone who saw it, when he took it? Maybe someone who visited him once.
Well, I have no clue^^But I guess we will see him again. Maybe not this season. But I wouldn’t wonder if we will learn more about him if OUAT get picked up for another season.

Well, I have no clue^^I have no idea either on this one. Someone might have told him of a rumors that there is a creature that harbors magical items and maybe he has the wand he seeks and Robin Hood had to go and see if it was actually there in the castle.
I have now another theory. I think Robin Hood is a reference to Tristan, who has an unfaillen bow and took the wife of another man away. (sounds a lot like the story of the drunk sheriff) Tristan is also one of arthurs men and was not in the near of the wand also a sword in rumples castle(excalibur maybe) and don’t forget the golden cup he tookof the podest for our beloved “Chipped Cup” (Desperate souls). We seen already Lancelot, maybe we see the rest of the crew in season 3. Robin Hood as one of Arthurs Round Table men, that would be a lovely twist. Wouldn’t you think?

It could be Cupido too. This bow looks like too help in falling in love and find true love couples. Snow shoot without feelings and 2 min after she kissed David and Rumple found also his heart with belle (hug) and also it looks that Robin found also his beloved during he has this bow.

I would love to hear the story of Robin Hood. I think his character is not as noble as noble as he is in the stories we know. The sheriff was made out to be a creeper but what if robin was the reason he became that way
I really think he was just a one-timer. I dont think we will see him again, although I wouldnt mind! 😀

Hmm, I’m not sure how I would feel if Robin turned out to be a bad guy? A man who’s stood for good and helping people for centuries suddenly becoming bad? That is not Robin Hood.
Well I think it is very possible that he learned of the wand from his wife, who after seeing her I believe has to be related to either Tamara or Cinderella’s fairy god mother or both. He paralled Tamara so well in the want of stealing magic. Plus I don’t think Rumple’s comment about why Robin wanted to steal magic, or any person would want to for that matter, can be over looked. Plus I feel as if we have to see him again since he still has the wand but Rumple clearly obtains it at some point since we know it is in his shop in Storybrooke. Maybe that is the magic Tamara is after. It is possible that after Belle was kidnapped by Regina and Rumple had snapped that he ran into Robin Hood again and snapped killing him and his wife and leaving their child alone, for some reason I feel as if Rumple doesn’t kill children, thereby recovering the stolen wand and if the child was Tamara would explain her thirst for magic and revenge against Rumple, which is why she is convinced she can count on hook to help her since they both want the same thing.
That would explain why he has the wand back if it turns out to be the same wand and why she grew up with her grandmother if that is what she did.

I think Robin Hood’s bow was like anyone else’s until he used fairy magic to enchant it never to miss its target.

I have a pet theory that Maid Marian comes from a family of fairies which is why Robin Hood sought out fairy magic. Marian’s sister could even be Cinderella’s fairy godmother. I believe a fairy instructed Robin Hood to seek out a wand from Rumplestiltskin, who warned Robin that unless he knew how to use it, the wand would do “nasty things” to him. Clearly, Robin Hood knew how to handle the wand, as he avoided any negative outcome and even managed to use it successfully to heal Marian of whatever plagued her.

So the bow can also be just some magical item which exist in enchanted forest.I’m still suspecting the bow and arrows may have originally belonged to Cupid. The bow was strung with gold, and the arrows are gold, and Cupid shot gold tipped arrows.

In the midst of all the debates about timelines of events and how it relates to whether or not that can be the same wand that we saw Rumple take from the fairy godmother (FGM) when he exploded her, I’ve concocted a bit of a theory. Not totally convinced of it all yet, but FWIW…
FGM fell in love with a human, but we know that fairies aren’t allowed to fall in love…
FGM made a deal with Rumple for him to make her human, and as payment, she had to give him her wand…
Now human FGM married the man she’d fallen in love with, and they had a daughter, named Marian…
Marian grew up, met Robin, and became deathly ill while she was pregnant…
In desperate need of a way to save her daughter, and her unborn grandchild, FGM told Robin that he had to steal her wand back from Rumple…
Robin steals the wand, and uses it to heal Marian…
With her wand back FGM reverts back to being her fairy self…
Thinking that Robin, Marian, and the unborn baby are in danger from Rumple coming after them, FGM uses her newly returned powers to send them to another world, (this fits with the theories of Tamara being the child, who was born in our world)…
FGM then goes into hiding herself, thinking that Rumple will be after her, because she went back on a deal with him…
During his dealings with King George, Rumple says that he needs information on a hard to find FGM…
FGM comes out of hiding to help Cinderella, gets exploded, and Rumple takes the wand back.Anyway, like I said, I’m not 100% behind my own theory yet, not even 100% sure if that unborn baby is Tamara. But those are my current ponderings on how Robin knew about the wand and where to get it and how to use it…coz it belonged to his mother in law.
