In the Battle of the Hornburg , Legolas and Gimli engaged in an Orc-slaying contest [10] that Gimli won the score being 42 to 43, respectively , though Legolas was not jealous, stating, "You have passed my score by one but I do not grudge you the game, so glad am I to see you on your legs. His horse, Arod, refused to enter the paths, but Legolas calmed him. Their company rode on, with Elladan as the last, but Legolas looked back and saw the Dead following the Grey Company.

The Dead are following. I see shapes of Men and of horses, and pale banners like shreds of cloud, and spears like winter-thickets on a misty night. They met Prince Imrahil and went to the Houses of Healing , at which he remembered the cries of the gulls at Pelargir and sang a song about his newly kindled sea-longing. Silver flow the streams from Celos to Erui In the green fields of Lebennin! Tall grows the grass there. In the wind from the Sea The white lilies sway, And the golden bells are shaken of mallos and alfirin In the green fields of Lebennin, In the wind from the Sea!

Legolas and Gimli sail to Valinor, by Ted Nasmith. After the destruction of the One Ring and of Sauron , Legolas stayed for the coronation of Aragorn and his marriage to Arwen. Eventually, Legolas came to Ithilien with some of his people, with his father's leave, to live out his remaining time in Middle-earth helping to restore the woodlands that had been war-torn. After Aragorn's death, Legolas made a ship in Ithilien and left Middle-earth to go over the sea.

His strong friendship with Gimli prompted Legolas to invite him to accompany him to the Undying Lands ; making him the first and only Dwarf to do so.

He was never seen again in Middle-earth. The name Legolas is a Silvan dialect form of pure Sindarin Laegolas , meaning 'green leaf'. It consists of Sindarin words laeg "green" and golas "a collection of leaves, foliage, being a prefixed collective form of las s "leaf".

There might, however, be a certain meaning to his name: laeg is a very rare, archaic word for "green", which is normally replaced by calen cf. It may be that Thranduil named his son Legolas to at least partially refer to this people, who were remote kin and ancestors of the later Silvan Elves whom Thranduil ruled. Although he lived among them, Legolas was not fully of the Silvan Elves.

As a son of the Elven-king Thranduil , who had originally come from Doriath , Legolas was at least half Sindar ; his mother's identity is completely unknown. This is complicated by the fact that a small minority of Sindarin Elves ruled the predominantly Silvan Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood , a minority to which Legolas belonged.

The Sindarin minority in that realm, who should have been nobler and wiser than the Silvan Elves can be seen as having "gone native" at the end of the First Age: after Morgoth was defeated and all grand Elf-kingdoms of Beleriand were destroyed, the Sindar nobles can be seen as having reverted to a simpler society.

Like all Elves, Legolas had great respect and appreciation for nature. After the Fellowship parted from Fangorn Forest, he longed to return once more to explore its wonders more thoroughly. He was kind, caring greatly for his friends, even Gimli the Dwarf , though Elves and Dwarves almost never expressed liking for one another in Middle-earth.

As an Elf, Legolas had the abilities typical of his race. He could walk silently on grass and snow leaving minimal footprints, allowing him to advance unhindered. His eyes were sharper than that of Men, seeing through great distances and in the dark.

He could even sleep while walking, which contributed to allowing him to travel 45 leagues in less than four days with Aragorn and Gimli.

He tamed unruly horses with only a few words, without needing reins or saddles. Legolas famously used an Elven bow, as well as a long, white knife. He would prefer to pierce his enemies from afar, but his dagger was sometimes used for close combat. The Elves in J. Tolkien's legendarium were often associated as "fairy-like" beings who grew great in stature. However, when Legolas was visually rendered as "pretty", Tolkien was "wrathful" and added a description of Legolas as:.

John D. Rateliff speculates in The History of the Hobbit that had Tolkien gone on to finish the edit of the The Hobbit , proceeding to add to the Mirkwood scenes, it might have been possible Legolas would have been introduced.

In Peter Jackson 's movie adaptations , Legolas' role stays much the same as in the books, although he speaks considerably less. Legolas arrived in Rivendell with a group of Elves. At the Council of Elrond, he was unimpressed by Boromir's attitude towards Aragorn. Legolas therefore declared "This is no mere Ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance". Boromir was stunned by this revelation, but Aragorn was uncomfortable with the reminder.

When Boromir argued against trying to destroy the ring, Legolas sharply refuted him as the ring had to be destroyed. Gimli figured that Legolas thought he should be the one to take the ring and then said he would be dead before he saw the ring in the hands of an elf.

This started an argument between all the members of council but Frodo interrupted the quarrelling saying that he would take the ring to Mordor. Gandalf and Aragorn tell Frodo that they will help him get to Mordor and Legolas decides he will also help, telling Frodo that he has his bow. Gimli and Boromir also were to go and the other Hobbits Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck were eavesdropping and decided they could not possibly be left behind.

Elrond, though flustered at this, pronounced all nine of them as the Fellowship of the Ring. The Fellowship set off towards Mordor through the Misty Mountains. During a brief rest, Legolas was the first to spot a flock of Crebain heading their way. The group took cover immediately while the birds passed by. Afterwards Gandalf took them through the pass of Caradhras but the Fellowship was waylaid by a snowstorm while passing through the mountains.

Legolas was able to walk on the snow with no difficulty, yet he soon heard Saruman's voice influencing the weather stating that there was a fell voice in the air. As the Fellowship were bombarded by stones and snow, Gandalf attempted to calm the storm, but Saruman sent a lightning bolt into the mountain.

This resulted in an avalanche which fell on the group, at which point Gandalf and Frodo decide to go through Moria. They reached the gate of the kingdom and Gandalf tried to open the door, speaking elvish. Frodo discovered that the password was the elvish word for friend and the door opened. As they walked in, Gimli noted to Legolas that they would soon enjoy the fabled hospitaliy of the Dwarves and his cousin Balin.

Legolas and the others saw the Dwarven corpses awaiting them and the Elven prince immediately deduced that Goblins were lurking nearby. When Frodo was suddenly attacked by the Watcher in the Water from back outside. Legolas noticed that the watcher was searching for the ring, so he shot an arrow through one of its tentacles. After Aragorn and Boromir freed Frodo, Boromir yells Legolas' name and he shot an arrow into the beasts eye, holding it back to give them time to run into the mine again.

The Watcher climbed up and broke apart the stone, which trapped the Fellowship within the mines. Legolas and the others quickly realised that they would have to go through Moria. Legolas was uneasy as he knew that evil was lurking nearby. Before long Pippin accidentally sent a rotting carcass into the depths of the mines, which alerted a whole army of Goblins. Before they even broke through the doors, Legolas and Aragorn were able to hit them with arrows through the holes in the doors.

Even when the doors were thrown open, Legolas shot them down before they could close the distance. When the cave troll stormed into the chamber, Legolas alone was able to avoid it with ease. He even climbed onto the troll and fired an arrow into its skull. When most of the Fellowship were fighting the troll, Legolas saw an opportunity when Pippin stabbed it in the head, causing the troll to roar. The Elf then fired an arrow directly into its mouth, penetrating its skull and killing it swiftly.

The Fellowship was forced to flee from the Balrog of Morgoth, a creature which even Legolas was alarmed by. At the crossing of the stairs, Legolas was the first to jump across the gap with no trouble. The company was attacked by archers from afar, so Legolas returned fire. When Gimli nearly fell off the edge, Legolas swiftly grabbed him by the beard and halled him back. Before they left Moria, Legolas witnesses the fall of Gandalf, at which he was horrified and subdued by the loss. Only Legolas was able to tell them about the loss, bitterly lamenting their needless trip through Moria.

But Galadriel deemed that none of Gandalf's deeds were needless, even if the trip through Moria resulted in his demise. The Elven Queen later gave gifts to the Fellowship. Legolas recieved a new bow of the Galadhrim, which he subsequently uses for the rest of his journey. Legolas inquired as to what her gift was for him, to which Gimli confessed "I asked for one hair from her golden head.

She gave me three". Legolas was amused, at which point their attitudes begin to soften. During their trip down the river, Legolas's far sight alerted him to the presence of the Uruk-hai scouts bearing down on them.

At Amon-Hen, Leoglas urged Aragorn to lead them away immediately, as he could sense the Uruk-hai approaching. The Elf was called to action once more as the company was soon attacked. He arrived in time to see Boromir's final moments before he succumbed to his wounds. The two never liked each other but grew too as they traveled. The two of them formed an unbreakable bond, eventually taking the dwarf with him to Aman after Aragorn's death.

His main weapon is a bow and arrow but often uses swords or pikes and spears. In the films, he is portrayed by Orlando Bloom , who also portrays Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Although he is not in the novel, he appears as a supporting character in the trilogy; he was added into the story by Peter Jackson. In the second Hobbit movie Desolation of Smaug, which plays out years before Lord of the Rings, Legolas appears leading a group of elves and attacking the spiders fighting Thorin's Company. When all the spiders are dead, Legolas takes Thorin and his dwarves captive but Bilbo manages to escape thanks to the Ring. Legolas brings the dwarves to his home and they are locked up in the dungeons.

When the dwarves escape and Bolg attacks the elves with his orcs, Legolas leads a group of elves into the fight. Legolas is almost killed during the battle but is saved by Thorin Oakenshield. The elves manages to drive away the orcs but the dwarves escape. Legolas is almost killed a second time by an orc who sneaks up at him but he is saved by the eleven warrior Tauriel. Together with her Legolas returns to his father, the elven king Thranduil and helps him interrogate the orc.

The orc tells them that one of the dwarves, Kili was hit with a poisonous arrow and will die from the poison. Tauriel leaves to save him and when Legolas is informed about that she went out into the wood he follows her.

Legolas reaches Tauriel at a cliff and decides to join her. They travel to Lake-Town and finds Kili, his brother Fili, two other dwarves and Bards children attacked by orcs.

Legolas and Tauriel kills them and Legolas leaves, chasing the rest of the orcs. He kills many before facing down with their leader, Bolg. After a tough fight, Bolg escapes but Legolas follows him. After Lake-Town being destroyed by Smaug, Legolas appears, and tells Tauriel to take farewell of Kili, which she does.

Legolas is then reached by a messenger from Thranduil who tells him that the king orders him to return to Mirkwood while Tauriel is banished. Legolas refuse to return without Tauriel and leaves for Gundabad together with her. When they arrive, they spot activity inside the fortress and decides to sneak closer during nightfall. While waiting, Legolas tells Tauriel of his dead mother.

Later, Bolg appears, leading an army from the fortress. Legolas and Tauriel quickly return to warn the elves, dwarves and men about the coming orcs. They arrive to Dale and alerts Gandalf about the approaching army.

Tauriel points her bow against Thranduil since he does not want to help the dwarves who are going to be caught by Bolg and his army. Thranduil destroys her bow, but Legolas defend her and offers to join her in saving the dwarves. While arriving to Ravenhill, where the dwarves are, Legolas rides away on a bat and leaves Tauriel behind. After killing the bat, he assists Thorin by shooting down the orcs attacking him. Then, he spots Bolg and Tauriel falling down a cliff and moves in to fight Bolg again.

This time, Legolas manages to triumph over the orc and puts a dagger in his skull which kills him. After the battle, Legolas talks to Thranduil and tells him that he wont return to Mirkwood. Thranduil advises him to find Strider Aragorn and tells him that his mother loved him. Legolas was one of the many assembled at Elrond's council to discuss the fate of the ring. When Boromir talks condescendingly to Aragorn about the matter, Legolas defends him and says that Aragorn is the next king of Gondor and that Boromir should owe him his allegiance.

Aragorn tells Legolas to sit back down in Elvish. When Elrond tells the council that the ring must be taken back to Mordor to be destroyed, Boromir explains the horrors of Mordor and the whole quest is foolish. Legolas grew tired of Boromir's negativity and insisted that the quest must be fulfilled. Gimli quickly interrupts saying Legolas and all elves are not trustworthy of the task and an argument ensues. When Frodo volunteers to take it, Legolas, along with Gimli, Aragorn and Boromir join as well and swore to protect him.

When the Fellowship take the path of Caradhras, his weight was light to walk over the snow while the others try to push through it. He first hears Saruman's voice chanting and Gandalf realizes who it was. When they go to Moria, they find several dead dwarves near the entrance and Legolas discovers goblin arrows everywhere.

When they reached Balin's crypt, they become surrounded and Legolas and Aragorn were ready to fire when the orcs come through. The fellowship fought well and when the cave troll came in, Legolas climbed on top of him and tried to shoot him in the head but failed. After the troll stabbed Frodo, in a rage, Merry and Pippin jumped on the troll and when they stabbed him in the head, Legolas shot him in the jugular, killing him.

When Gandalf sacrificed himself to save them from the Balrog, the fellowship made it out of Moria and traveled to the woods of Lothlorien. When they were attacked by elf archers, Legolas pointed his bow at one of them, ready to protect the fellowship than his own people.

The captain of the guard, Haldir, welcomed Aragorn and Legolas as they were well known. When they met Lady Galadriel, Legolas tells of Gandalf's sacrifice and learns the elves have prepared a lament for the wizard.

When they departed from Lothlorien, Galadriel presents them all with gifts including cloaks that would shield them and loads of lembas bread. Galadriel gives Legolas a bow of the Galadhrim, a stouter version of a Mirkwood bow. He asks Gimli what he received and he asked for a lock of Galadriel's hair and she gave him three.

Through the river, they reached Amon Hen and Legolas was sensing orcs nearby. They became ambushed by Saruman's Uruk-Hai and engaged in battle. Aragorn slayed many on his own until Legolas and Gimli arrived and slewed many themselves.

Legolas hears Boromir's horn in the distance and Aragorn rushes to help him. When Legolas and Gimli arrived to help, it was too late as Boromir had died peacefully and Aragorn saved him from a terrible fate.
