"Regina, you are my future."
It was at that moment, just before a passionate kiss was shared, that we knew for sure Robin Hood was not long for this world. You can't utter a phrase like that and expect to live much longer on a TV drama, and Robin sure did not live much longer.
He died in the fight against Hades when he stood in front of Regina to save her from being stabbed by Hades' fancy magic crystal (which was kind of him to do, even though Regina had mistakenly believed she could trust Zelena with the baby). Regina was about to meet the same fate at the hands of Zelena, with Hades encouraging her, but instead, Zelena turned and stabbed Hades right back.
Robin simply collapsed on the floor and then his soul floated up into the heavens, but Hades had to be typically hades and explode dramatically into a pile of dust.
