He Abandoned Romance For Friendship Loving Tauriel was a particularly harrowing event for Legolas. So much so, in fact, that he never shows any interest in romance ever again.
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 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.
His connection to Aragorn is underplayed in the movies
However, in the books, Legolas' affection for Aragorn is a lot more obvious.
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.
Tauriel is not royalty, or high-born. Thranduil is very royal, strict. He wouldn't let his child marry any old elf. Tauriel gave her love to Kili in the movies.
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.
Frodo is portrayed as a reserved and introspective character, while Legolas is more outgoing and extroverted. It's possible that they simply don't have much in common and don't feel the need to engage in conversation with each other. The hobbit didn't talk much with Gimli or Boromir either.
But other than being a connection to the Lord of the Rings films, Legolas spends his entire journey chasing after Tauriel and demanding her to follow him wherever he goes, despite the fact that she is clearly in love with the dwarf Kili.
Although very little is known about the identity of Legolas' mother, she is referenced a few times in The Hobbit films, and a big part of the source of contention between Taurial and Thranduil is that she thinks him cold and unfeeling, and he thinks her naive and foolhardy.
That said, the people behind the “official movie guide” for The Lord of the Rings list Legolas as being born in the year 87 of the Third Age of Middle-earth, which makes him some 2,931 years old around the time of the War of the Ring, which happened over 3,000 years into the Third Age of Middle-earth.
Gimli, Lord of the Glittering Caves
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.
“You gave me a very special bow, and I look after it.” In related news, sources reveal that I “had such a crush” on Aragorn, son of Arathorn, called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dúnadan, the heir of Isildur Elendil's son of Gondor.
Tauriel:and it will always be that way for as long as we both shall live... And with that, Legolas pressed a kiss to Tauriel's soft lips for the last time in our story.
Calathiel and Thranduil were madly in love with each other. For Thranduil, Calathiel was the sunshine in Mirkwood. Thranduil offered several gifts to his wife who loved the first necklace he offered her.
It's an easy question to answer: No, they do not fall in love in the novel because they don't meet.
No, because that atrocity is fanfiction. Tauriel does not exist in Tolkien's books. Originally Answered: After the Hobbit, did Tauriel have a baby? She only exists in the movies - as a character she never existed in the books.
Tauriel admits her love for Kili in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
In fact, there's only one line that Legolas says to Frodo: “And you have my bow.”
Legolas happens to be one of the strongest members of the Fellowship of the Ring. His aim with a bow and arrow is true and never misses.
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.
His prowess with a bow was unmatched among the Fellowship and, as J.R.R. Tolkien stated himself, Legolas was “endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies,” as well as an inability to feel terrible hurts, which made it easy for him to travel long distances over rough terrain in only light shoes.
No, neither in J.R.R. Tolkien's texts, nor in either the animated movies, nor in Peter Jackson's masterful cinematic works is there any suggestion that the character of Legolas the elven prince is gay.
He Has Incredible Eye-Sight
One such power is his incredible eye-sight, something that all Elves are gifted with. In The Two Towers, Legolas is able to track the Orcs while being 20 kilometers away from them, as well as know that "The White Wizard" is coming long before Aragorn and Gimli can.
