    Did anyone else notice in the promo that Rumpel was using a bow and arrow? Since the episode will feature Robin Hood, I assume either Rump stole it from him or he got it from Rumpel. But besides that, does anyone here think the bow and arrow is the same one given to Snow by Rumpelstiltskin to kill Regina? The one that always hits it’s target?

    i did and thought it was strange. From the casting calls we know that Robin Hood is a thief who tries to steal magic from Rumple, so maybe he’s trying to the bow and arrows.

    During my re-watch of the episode, I noticed that Rumple said he would keep Robin’s bow because it could come in handy someday. Now we know that the arrows of Robin’s bow never misses its target once shot. The bow Rumple gives Snow in “Heart of Darkness” is also clearly described to never miss its target either. I am very willing to believe that these bows are one in the same.

    Looks like you guessed correctly, Watcher!

    Yeah, pretty sure of that. Maybe that is Rumple sort of saying to Snow: I hope it will bring your heart back than it did mine. The bow shoot through his heart and also trough Snows (hug of Belle, kiss of David) But who created that bow? Is it in the end the bow of Cupido? Because it is like that the bow is very good in finding True loves couple (Robin Hood/Marian Rumbelle, Snowing). ❓

    Hmm. Interesting. How did Robin come by a magic bow? In the mythology, Robin was always just a really excellent shot. He could hit anything at incredible distances. Here, the bow has been magicked.

    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?

    The bow is maybe from Merlin

    My question is what happened to the bow after Snow used it?

    I think she kept it–she uses a bow throughout her time in FTL after that point. However, there’s the interesting question of what happened to it in the curse. Most magic artifacts wound up with Regina or Gold. Yet, MM DOES have a bow–but it’s not that bow. She missed the tree and hit August.

    But she’s very good with a normal bow. If she’d been using that magic one all the time before the curse, she wouldn’t have developed those skills

    That’s a good question. The now has got to be somewhere. Maybe Robin Hood got it back at some point and that is why it’s not SB
