No, but it is a classic. Robin Hood does involve some magic, but it is more in the practical medieval witchcraft sense then fairy like. Fairy Tale magic generally comes more in the form of talking animals, fairies, goblins, and the like.

∙ 13y agoIt is a legend. It is said that Robin Hood was an actual person. Many experts have found evidence that he actually existed. It is thought that he could have been a man by the name of John Armstrong of Gilnockie or even a man by the name of Rob Roy a.k.a. Robert MacGregor.
It is also a legend because legends are traditional stories told about certain peoples or places and usually have a basis in history.
Myths on the other hand are a traditional or legendary story, usually concerning some being or hero or event, with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation, and usually deals with deities or demigods. Myths are to explain some practice, rite, or phenomenon of nature.

∙ 14y agoA folktale is a story that could have happened at any time in any place, usually has no identified author and circulates orally. A legend is a story regarded as historical but not verifiable. The adventures of Robin Hood are set in a particular historic time and place, so they fit the definition of a legend, not a folktale.
