They meet Prince Imrahil and went to the Houses of Healing. There he heard the cries of the gulls at Pelargir and sang a song about his 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!
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 devastated forests of that war -ravaged land.
After the death of King Elessar , Legolas made a ship in Ithilien, and through Anduin, he left Middle-earth to go over the sea. His strong friendship with Gimli prompted him to invite Gimli to go to the Undying Lands ; making him the first and only Dwarf to do so. Though he was indeed of the Sindar line, he counted himself of the Silvan elves. Though his birth date is unknown circumstances imply that he might be many thousands years old when we first meet him in Rivendell.
Legolas is to become close friends with Gimli , the dwarf who will be known as "Elf-friend". He is in the first chamber, with Gimli. He later participates in a foray against the Wood-trolls of the North Trollshaws. Legolas shot down several Wargs and riders as they approached over the hills and then mounted up onto a horse as the Rohhirim from behind him.
In the midst of the fighting, Aragorn was dragged off a cliff and into the river below. Legolas and Gimli interrogated the dying Sharku, where the Elf recovered the Evenstar. Legolas and Gimli had no choice to but to continue. When Aragorn recovered and arrived at Helm's Deep later on, Legolas greeted him and returned the Evenstar to him.
Aragorn revealed that he had seen ten thousand Uruk-hai marching towards Helm's Deep, prompting the King to order the defense of the fortress. But Legolas and Gimli were doubtful that they can hold out against such sheer numbers. Legolas in particular despaired that they will all die, prompting Aragorn to say "Then I shall die as one of them! The Elf later reconciled with Aragorn before the battle. Legolas then heard a horn blowing and immediately recognizes it as an Elvish call.
On the rampart of the Hornburg, Legolas joined his kin with Gimli, although the Dwarf grumbled about not being tall enough to see over the rampart.
When the Uruk-hai arrived and started uttering war cries, Gimli frantically asked what was going on. Legolas offered either a description or a large box for Gimli to stand on, to which the Dwarf laughed. The siege began and Legolas told the Elves and Men to aim at the Uruk's necks and underarms where their armor was weak. Uruks began climbing up on siege ladders and Legolas and Gimli began killing them on the wall. Legolas also spotted the Uruk berserker with a bomb and attempted to shoot him down, but the Uruk simply hurled himself into the hole in the wall.
The wall of Helm's deep was blasted to pieces, although Legolas survived unharmed. He rode down the stairs on an Uruk shield while shooting arrows at the same time.
Eventually however Legolas and the others were forced to retreat. When the Uruks began to throw up more siege ladders, the Elf managed to buy some time by shooting the ropes, causing one of them to topple over and flatten the Uruks. The Uruks broke into the fortress, so Legolas and the others withdrew into the keep.
Legolas joined them and together they mowed down the Uruk-hai outside on the bridge. The battle of Helm's Deep ended and the remaining Orcs fled back to Isengard where Treebeard and the Ents have attacked and destroyed them. Legolas joined the others in finding Merry and Pippin at Isengard. When the group confronted Saruman, Gimli became impatient with the wizard and suggested that Legolas shoot him.
Legolas actually began to do so, but Gandalf commanded him not to as they needed information. Eventually Legolas was forced to act when Wormtongue stabbed Saruman, so the Elf shot Wormtongue in the heart, but it was too late to save Saruman and the former white wizard's body plummeted and landed on a spiky wheel at the bottom.
The Palantir fell into the water and Pippin picked it up. It was quickly confiscated by Gandalf. On returning to Edoras, a celebration was held due to the recent victory at Helm's Deep. There Legolas was introduced to a drinking game with Gimli which seemingly he had never done before.
Nevertheless he held his liquor very well, going through several pints and still standing, although he mentioned "I can feel something I think it's affecting me". Gimli however passed out, whereupon Legolas won the game. Later he stood outside and talked with Aragorn and felt Sauron's presence when Pippin grabbed the Palantir.
Aragorn grabbed the ball and Legolas held him up as he almost fell, the Palantir rolling out of his hands. Gandalf quickly covered it with a cloth. The next morning he heard what Gandalf had discovered after Pippin's vision in the Palantir.
Gimli wished that he could muster an army of Dwarves from his home, though Legolas speculated that war already marched on their lands as well. At Dunharrow, Legolas and Gimli noticed that the men and horses were uneasy under the shadow of the mountain.
Gimli inquired about the road leading into the mountain, which Legolas identified as the road to the Dimholt. Legolas caught Aragorn trying to leave without himself and Gimli, and together they joined him on the road through the haunted mountain.
Gimli wondered aloud about the dead, whereupon Legolas explained how they refused to aid Isildur in the war against Sauron, breaking their oath and cursed to walk the earth endlessly. Inside the mountain, the King of the Dead confronted the trio and sent his army to kill them.
Legolas tried to shoot the dead king, but the arrow simply passed through his skull. Aragorn's reforged sword physically blocked the weapon of the king, at which point the dead king realized that Aragorn was Isildur's Heir. Aragorn demanded that they fight and fulfill their oath.
The Dead King and his army seemed to retreat, when the mountain is rocked by an earthquake. The trio were forced to flee the avalanche of skulls and rocks. Once outside, Legolas and the others saw the Corsairs of Umbar heading to Gondor, but the King of the Dead reappeared and agreed to fight. Legolas and the others arrived in Gondor on the Black Ships after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields had already begun.
There he and Gimli began another contest to kill as many Orcs as possible. Legolas mounted a stampeding Mumakil, where he climbed the great beast and cut the war tower loose, sending the Haradrim archers into the path of the oncoming Oathbreakers.
Legolas then shot the Mumakil in the head with three arrows and slid down its trunk as it fell to it's death. Landing in front an indignant Gimli, the Dwarf declared that it is still only one, seemingly forgetting the war tower full of Haradrim. To give Frodo more time to get the ring to Mount Doom, the remaining forces go to the Black Gate to distract Sauron and his forces. At the Black gate, Legolas and Gimli acknowledged their friendhsip before the fight began.
Legolas and Gandalf followed Aragorn as he charged at the host of Mordor. During the fighting Legolas noticed Aragorn struggling to fight an armoured troll and immediately rushed to his aid. When the One Ring was destroyed, Legolas was one of the first to notice the Eye of Sauron screaming from afar. He then witnesses the fall of Barad-Dur and the destruction of Mordor.
At first he was happy but then noticed the mountain erupting and immediately was worried for Frodo and Sam. Gandalf rode on Gwahir and took two other eagles to go get the Hobbits and brought them back to Minas Tirith. Leoglas was present when Frodo reawakened in Minas Tirith.
At Aragorn's coronation, the King thanked his friend again for his support. Legolas then stepped aside to reveal Arwen, whereupon Aragorn finally married her. Legolas then bowed before Frodo, Sam, Pippin and Merry with everybody else present to thank them for everything they did. Do not think I won't kill you, dwarf! Other elven archers can hardly compare.
Though Legolas was rebellious in The Hobbit , it wasn't much about rebelling against Elves. Instead, it was about rebelling against his father. When it came to Elven customs and heritage, he was much like his other Elves: sheltered, married to the woods, and staunch isolationists. However, The Hobbit ended with Legolas deciding to stay out of the forest and continuing to explore.
Legolas eventually reconnected with his people, but he began to diverge from their traditionalist views. He often left the forest. He was making close friendships with other races, even dwarves. While proud of his people and their culture, Legolas became an outlier among his race.
Loving Tauriel was a particularly harrowing event for Legolas. So much so, in fact, that he never shows any interest in romance ever again. He never even talks about romance in The Lord of The Rings trilogy. While he became averse to falling in love, the son of Thranduil did not become loveless. Legolas traded romance for strong, loving companionship among friends. In the years after The Hobbit , he began finding heroes like him that he could relate to and learn from -- the kind of people who could make him stronger.
He met Aragorn and Gandalf first. By The Fellowship of The Ring , he grew close to the entire group and those friendships lasted him the rest of his life. He even brought Gimli, his dearest companion, into the Undying Lands with him. He was the only dwarf ever to be invited.
They brought the deranged creature to Mirkwood to keep him captive and away from Mordor. However, Gollum was able to escape with the help of orcs. 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.
Unfortunately, almost all of the Fellowship had to deal with the warped, tortured monster at one point or another. However, in a twisted way, this means that Gollum helped bring the Fellowship together and kick off the entire saga. The biggest barrier between Thranduil and his son was the passing of his wife.
Legolas always wanted to talk more about losing her, but Thranduil refused. It's implied that Legolas was too young to know her very well, which helped cause this rift. Though his affection for Tauriel could be blamed for his rebellion in The Hobbit , it was more likely due to this tension with his father. After all, this conflict is exactly why he has more interested in a "common elf" than any high-born expectations.
By The Lord of The Rings , though, Legolas has resolved this conflict within himself and with his father. It's not weighing on him like it does in The Hobbit. Instead, he has evolved into a well-balanced elf. In all of those years, physically, Legolas didn't age a day.
However, the passage of time did effect him and mentally, as he has grown from the hot-headed elf he once was. Over more than half a century, this king's son matured greatly. He started The Hobbit brash, heartbroken, rebellious, and lovestruck. By the saga to destroy the ring, he is a much more responsible, dutiful, and calming presence.
Legolas has changed into a admirable hero instead of a headstrong young bowman. For Elves, that's a lot of growth in such a short time, especially when they're known to live for thousands of years. The Legolas of The Hobbit struggles greatly with finding his own ground. He's either following what Tauriel wants, rejecting his father's wishes, or generally following someone's orders. He's not a leader and he doesn't have a sense of what he would choose in dire situations.
