It is of course possible that Legolas has become tolerant to alcohol. Thranduil and Legolas was Sindar elves but rules mostly over Silvan elves. Some people suggest this explains why Legolas is more resistant to alcohol as Sindar are generally considered more powerful elves than Silvan.
Elves have no particular tolerance for alcohol, but their keen senses and atypical response to mind-altering effects allow them to convincingly fake lucidity – at least in front of anyone who isn't an elf – right up until the point that they abruptly fall over.
Legolas' behavior in The Hobbit was partially due to his immaturity. Though he was already thousands of years old, he was still young by the standards of Elves.
Appearing in The Lord of the Rings, miruvor is a warm and fragrant clear cordial of the Elves. It gives the drinker renewed strength and vitality. Miruvor is used by the Elves at their festivals.
Thranduil and Legolas was Sindar elves but rules mostly over Silvan elves. Some people suggest this explains why Legolas is more resistant to alcohol as Sindar are generally considered more powerful elves than Silvan.
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).
He refills his quiver with Orc arrows (the work of Saruman's people), which were noted to be longer in the shaft than Orc arrows usually are. Yes and No. Pretty sure it isn't addressed in the LOTR movies, but he does run out of arrows in the Battle of the Five Armies and is forced to switch to his daggers.
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.
In LotR, he had brown eyes and in the hobbit he had blue eyes. Did anyone else notice this? Or was it just me? Apparently Orlando was allergic to the contact lenses in LotR, so he didn't wear them... but he did in The Hobbit.
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.
Elves live much longer than humans and they believe they were created, unlike humans who evolved, so they see humans as inferior to them. The physiology of elves, then, is very different from those of humans, and even though they live long lives, they are only fertile while they're young.
Elves were sometimes able to sleep if they desired, though they almost always rested in a state of reverie, which took half the time for the same benefits of sleep, and also acted as a memory tool. As such, elves very rarely slept, and usually only did so when they were severely ill, wounded, or exhausted.
Elves have "limitless serial longevity" (often called immortality, but true immortality is beyond Eä); like the Ainur, they are bound to Arda until its End. Elves are immune to all diseases, and they can recover from wounds which would normally kill a mortal Man.
*'To Legolas she sent this word: Legolas Greenleaf long under tree In joy thou hast lived. Beware of the Sea! If thou hearest the cry of the gull on the shore, Thy heart shall then rest in the forest no more.
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.”
Tolkien writes, "He [Legolas] could sleep, if sleep it could be called by Men, resting his mind in the strange paths of Elvish dreams, even as he walked open-eyed in the light of this world." Elves do, therefore, get tired to some extent, but because they can recover whilst awake, outsiders might assume they never grow ...
Therefore it is feasible that he would have never actually had a wound before, especially as it took all that from Bolg to get the smallest nosebleed. Therefore seeing his own blood came as quite a shock. And demonstrated the violent nature of his foe to both Legolas and the audience.
During The Hobbit, Legolas' character is much more troubled and headstrong. He's focused on hunting with the guard and spending time with Tauriel. However, there is one thing his younger self was better at – conversation. He did spend all that time with his crush and debating his father, after all.
While the date of Legolas's birth is unknown, he was likely born sometime after his grandfather was killed and his father took over the rule of the Woodland Realm. Like all Elves, Legolas is immortal. Elves do not die by natural causes; however, they can be killed in battle.
