“You gave me a very special bow, and I look after it.” In related news, sources reveal that I “had such a crush” on Aragorn, son of Arathorn, called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dúnadan, the heir of Isildur Elendil's son of Gondor.
It is later mentioned that Tauriel is a talented warrior and was therefore made leader of the Mirkwood border guards. Legolas, the son of Mirkwood's Elven king Thranduil, is indicated to be attracted to her, but as she is a lowly Silvan Elf, she does not believe herself worthy of him.
Aragorn and Legolas are long-time companions and best friends since Legolas' father Thranduil sent him to live among the Rangers of the North. Aragorn and Legolas grew close, up to the point where Aragorn revealed his true identity to Legolas. Throughout his journeys, Aragorn and Legolas are as close as brothers.
They have a deeply spiritual side that they recognize and listen to, so Legolas could feel that Aragorn was the right person for the right time. Also, there developed a bond of friendship from the long journey they had been on, joined by fear, and loss and HOPE.
His connection to Aragorn is underplayed in the movies
However, in the books, Legolas' affection for Aragorn is a lot more obvious.
Legolas does not marry or have any children, based on the appendix of The Lord of the Rings. Regardless of who his mother was, Legolas is the last of his line. When he sails into the West at the beginning of the Fourth Age, he leaves no family members behind.
Frodo is portrayed as a reserved and introspective character, while Legolas is more outgoing and extroverted. It's possible that they simply don't have much in common and don't feel the need to engage in conversation with each other. The hobbit didn't talk much with Gimli or Boromir either.
The actor is suffering from Legolas Syndrome — where you accidentally get cast into a role that suits you far more than your real-life looks, leaving you with a tricky predicament after the wrap party.
As many have observed before, the interactions between Frodo and Legolas are severely limited in the trilogy even though they are allies. In fact, there's only one line that Legolas says to Frodo: “And you have my bow.”
Arwen isn't necessarily dying because of the Ring, but now that she is mortal, she is dying through the slow decaying of time. Arwen also faces the same fate as all those in Middle Earth should the Ring Bearer fail his mission. So in that way, her fate is tied to the Ring.
Tauriel:and it will always be that way for as long as we both shall live... And with that, Legolas pressed a kiss to Tauriel's soft lips for the last time in our story.
Legolas and Gimli's relationship is strong in The Lord of the Rings, even though it wasn't explicitly romantic in Tolkien's source material. The members of the Fellowship in The Lord of the Rings forge an unbreakable bond while on their mission to destroy the One Ring.
His prowess with a bow was unmatched among the Fellowship and, as J.R.R. Tolkien stated himself, Legolas was “endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies,” as well as an inability to feel terrible hurts, which made it easy for him to travel long distances over rough terrain in only light shoes.
Tauriel is not royalty, or high-born. Thranduil is very royal, strict. He wouldn't let his child marry any old elf. Tauriel gave her love to Kili in the movies.
The original character Tauriel finds herself in a love triangle with both the Elf prince Legolas and the Dwarf Kili pining for her affection. She remains uninterested in Legolas, but begins to feel a bond to Kili as the two speak in the dungeons of Mirkwood.
His greatest asset would be essentially useless. Did Frodo ever talk to Legolas? Yes. In the movies: Legolas only speaks directly to Frodo once, saying "And my bow."
Etymologyedit edit source. The name Legolas is a Silvan dialect form of pure Sindarin Laegolas, which means "Greenleaf". At one point he is called "Legolas Greenleaf" by Gandalf, coupling his name and its translation like an epithet.
Lembas bread, the magical Elven food, sustains the Fellowship on their arduous journey. Here's what Tolkien tells us about lembas: "the food was mostly in the form of very thin cakes, made of meal that was baked a light brown on the outside, and inside was the colour of cream."
The only time Legolas blinks is when he realizes he has been wounded and when Thranduil beheads the orc he is interrogating. This is in keeping with the character, as the only time Legolas blinks in The Lord of the Rings trilogy is when he is strongly surprised.
No, neither in J.R.R. Tolkien's texts, nor in either the animated movies, nor in Peter Jackson's masterful cinematic works is there any suggestion that the character of Legolas the elven prince is gay.
He Has Incredible Eye-Sight
One such power is his incredible eye-sight, something that all Elves are gifted with. In The Two Towers, Legolas is able to track the Orcs while being 20 kilometers away from them, as well as know that "The White Wizard" is coming long before Aragorn and Gimli can.
One thing that many fans loved about Legolas was seeing his grace, skill, and acrobatics as an elf. While elves do have many abilities that humans do not, the films, especially in The Hobbit, took things way too far at times.
Legolas happens to be one of the strongest members of the Fellowship of the Ring. His aim with a bow and arrow is true and never misses.
He Kept Gollum Captive
As the son of Mirkwood's king, Legolas undoubtedly was a part of keeping watch of Gollum. However, even if he didn't, the initial reason he was heading to Rivendell was to pass along the information that Gollum had escaped.
He wasn't angry. He was a very serious elf which makes sense considering he has to deal with giant spiders on a daily basis and lives in dangerous woods for the past few years. He doesn't seem to like Thorin's Company as expected. He's only angry around them.
