Tauriel truly threw a wrench in Legolas' life when he fell in love with her. She was brave, fierce, and a protective leader of the guard. He was meant to be the dutiful son of King Thranduil, but in loving her, he became a stubborn, masterful archer instead.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Their relationship is fraught with awkwardness thanks to Tauriel's solely platonic feelings toward Legolas. Despite the unrequited interest, the two Mirkwood Elves have a great deal of respect for one another and have each other's backs. Legolas also comes to accept that Tauriel does not see him the way he sees her.
It is believed that after Kili dies, Tauriel becomes a lone rider and never loves again, she was so broken by the experience of losing him. Their love was real, and it was as strong as any other Middle Earth romance story. But this romance doesn't appear in the original book, so where did it come from?
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. Do you A) nick all the costumes and stay in character the rest of your working life, or B)
However, a specific scene in The Lord of the Rings has led fans to theorize that Frodo and Legolas didn't talk, not because of time, but because the hobbit didn't know Legolas' name (and was too embarrassed to ask).
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 devastatedforests of that war-ravaged land.
After the downfall of Sauron, Gimli travels with many of his kinsfolk to the Glittering Caves of Aglarond. He becomes the Lord of the Glittering Caves, and prospers there for many years, doing great works for the Kings of Gondor and Rohan. He never takes a wife and has no children.
"What a great adventure it shall be," Legolas replied, ushering Aragorn to the head of the ship, never letting go of his hands, kissing him softly on the lips. "I could not have picked a better person to adventure with than you Aragorn." "Let us go home Legolas," Aragorn said, staring off beyond the horizon.
After the destruction of the One Ring, Legolas remained in Minas Tirith for Aragorn's coronation and marriage to Arwen. Later, Legolas and Gimli travelled together through Fangorn forest and to the Glittering Caves of Aglarond, as Legolas had promised Gimli.
No, Legolas was a Silvan Elf whereas Galadriel was Noldorin. It is possible that Legolas was related to some of the Elves of Lothlorien, but not to Galadriel.
In the "official movie guide" for The Lord of the Rings, a birthdate for Legolas is set to 87 of the Third Age. This would make him 2931 years old at the time of the War of the Ring. This date for Legolas' birth was made up by the movie writers.
But in part, Thranduil is so aloof and distanced because losing the love of his life has left him with some trauma, and Tauriel is inexperienced in the realms of love up until this point because she has always focused on her responsibilities with the guard, but that doesn't mean she is incapable of recognizing what ...
In the films, Bloom wore contacts to make his eyes blue, probably to distinguish him from the Silvan elves of Mirkwood, Legolas, the son of Thranduil, is a Sindarin, often treated as nobility by elves of less distinguished lineage.
Legolas : [speaking English] You may tell my father... if there is no place for Tauriel, there is no place for me. Tauriel : Legolas... it is your king's command. Legolas : [speaking Elvish] Yes, he is my king, but he does not command my heart.
Fast forward to after Smaug dies: Legolas receives a message from Thranduil that he is to return but Tauriel is banished. Fast forward again to the Battle of Five Armies after Kíli is killed by Bolg. The last we see or hear of Tauriel is her mourning Kíli, confessing her love, and kissing his lips.
No. Gimli was awestruck by her beauty, nobility, and above all by her goodwill toward a dwarf, because the races were estranged. His feelings toward her were closer to worship than love.
Gimli calls Legolas “lad” because the elf is more youthful than him in appearance, if not in actual age. (Note: it is only an educated guess from readers that Legolas is at least 500 years old. Tolkien never specifies his age.)
