We don't get any scenes of Thranduil meeting Aragorn, but one is implied. They probably met since Aragorn took the newly captured Gollum to Thranduil's kingdom.
Though the timelines don't quite match up with Thranduil's post-Hobbit advice for Legolas to find "Strider," it is implied that Legolas and Aragorn met between the two movies. If not from Legolas' travels, then they two met when Aragorn brought Gollum to Mirkwood, per Gandalf's request.
In Appendix B of The Lord of the Rings Tolkien states that Thranduil was one of the Sindar who migrated eastward early in the Second Age and established kingdoms among the Silvan Elves.
Thranduil most definitely met Gandalf. They were both present together at the Battle of the Five Armies, and were clearly well-acquainted, as they leave Erebor together, andwhen they part on their ways home at the edge of Mirkwood, Thranduil says: “Farewell! O Gandalf!” said the king.
Thranduil advised him to find the Dunedain, for there was a young ranger there whom he should meet - his father, Arathorn, was a good man, and he might become a great man himself.
Where Was THRANDUIL During The Lord of the Rings? | Middle Earth Lore
Did Galadriel meet Thranduil?
In the present time, Thranduil is first encountered fighting in Mirkwood during the last days of the War of the Ring. He joins the forces of Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel and after a brief discussion their combined host moves on Dol Guldur where Galadriel brings down the fortress.
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 ...
While Thranduil didn't have a problem with Dwarves, he didn't care for a lot of Elves. In the book, Thranduil was an isolationist and with good reason. Thranduil was a Sindarin Elf, which meant that he had never been to Valinor, and he grew up in Doriath under the leadership of King Elu Thingol and Melian the Maia.
TL;DR: Thranduil inherited the title of King. Neither Elrond nor Galadriel pursued the high kingship of the Noldor after Gil-galad's death. Galadriel declined to call herself Queen of Lothlórien.
When meeting with Thranduil, Thorin says, “Imrid amrâd ursul” – “Die a fiery death.” When Thorin then recounts the meeting to Balin from his prison cell, he states that he told Thranduil “to 'Ishkh khakfe andu null'” – “pour my excrement on his head.” Another dwarvish insult came from Gimli in The Fellowship of the ...
This doesn't make Thranduil any more powerful than the other two, even though he has a higher title. In fact, Galadriel is probably the most powerful elf in Middle Earth in the Third Age, but she chooses to put that power to the life and vibrancy of her forest, rather than to establish her right to rule.
So, Thranduil would have seen and experienced some awful things before the Valar, Eärendil and the Great Eagles overcame them. Thus, even though Tolkien didn't record Thranduil's involvement with dragons, it makes perfect sense that he would have seen and been burned by them.
No, Thranduil does not have a ring of power in The Hobbit. There are three Elven rings of power, and they are worn by Elrond, Galadriel, and Cirdan. All three are powerful rulers in the Elven Kingdom. Thranduil, as the King of the Woodland Realm, is not considered important enough to possess a ring.
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).
Yet, since Tolkien does give family trees for other important Elves in the book, such as Galadriel and Elrond, it's clear that Galadriel is not Legolas's mother. (Besides, she is one of the Noldor, not a Silvan or Sindar Elf.)
Lord of the Rings: Legolas Basically Married Gimli. 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 ...
There is no record of any relationship between the the houses of Thranduil and Galadriel. Surely Galadriel would have mentioned it when she met Legolas. No, Legolas was a Silvan Elf whereas Galadriel was Noldorin.
Yes. After the crowning of Aragorn, Legolas returned to Mirkwood and recruited a group of elves to migrate to Gondor and populate Ithilien so that the land could be made fair again. He must have seen his father and obtained permission to lead some of his father's people to Ithilien.
After the Siege of Barad-dûr in S.A. 3441, when Sauron was defeated, Thranduil led the remainder of his people north back to the Woodland Realm, where he was crowned king.
The White Gems of Lasgalen were made by the Dwarves of Erebor for Thranduil to give to his wife initially. During the Greenwood - Angmar war, she was captured and taken to Angmar by Orcs, where she was killed.
There are downright evil characters, like Azog the pale orc, and the Necromancer, who turns out to be Sauron himself, but these are antagonists, who are meant to be menacing, whereas Thranduil is on the good guys' side, yet he still displays elements of real cruelty towards those he is supposed to love, and dismissal ...
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.
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?
