Who is Legolas? Legolas is a Sindarin Elf from the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood. His father, Thranduil, is the King of the Silvan Elves living in that realm, making Legolas the Prince of Mirkwood.
Arwen is one of the half-elven who lived during the Third Age; her father was Elrond half-elven, lord of the Elvish sanctuary of Rivendell, while her mother was the Elf Celebrian, daughter of the Elf-queen Galadriel, ruler of Lothlórien.
Galadriel is of the Noldor, and her mother was of the highest race, the Vanyar; Celeborn was a Sindaran elf from Doriath, so between the two, the rulers of Lórien have the most impressive bloodlines.
Legolas was the son of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood, who appeared as "the Elvenking" in The Hobbit. Thranduil, one of the Sindar or "Grey Elves", ruled over the Silvan Elves or "Wood-elves" of Mirkwood.

Aragorn is not half Elf, although he is a descendant of Elros, who is half Elf (and the brother of Elrond, the half-Elf who raised him), which explains why Aragorn's life span is unusually long.
The High Elves of Rivendell are creatures from another age. They may become adventurers any time after they reach adulthood, although they are unlikely to venture beyond Imladris until they are half a millennia or more old.
The elves, or the Eldar, are immortal in the sense that they cannot die from illness or old age, however they can be slain. If they do die, they are summoned to the Halls of Mandos on Valinor, where they may eventually be returned to a physical form, although only in Valinor.
Elrond Half-elven was born in the Havens of Sirion in Beleriand, late in the First Age. His father was Eärendil, a great half-elven mariner who carried a star across the sky at the end of the First Age. Elrond's mother was Elwing, also known as Elwing the White, also half-elven.
This means that Thranduil had a stronger claim to kingship, and that although both Elrond and Galadriel could have claimed this title too, they both decided against it and were happy to be labeled guardians and protectors of their lands, rather than authoritarian rulers.
The Rings were named after the three principal elements, each matching the colour of their stones. They were originally given to the three greatest Eldar in Middle-earth at that time. Their names also match the fates of the three Silmarils.

When the Elven-Smiths created the Three Rings, Thranduil was merely the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Greenwood the Great. The king of the kingdom was Oropher, who was not a Noldo (High Elf) and was known as very rash king and suspicious on Noldor.
In The Hobbit, Thranduil is described as the “greatest king” of the Silvan elves, aka Woodelves. In the late Third Age, of all Elven rulers he probably ruled the largest number of people. He was able to field a respectable army.
With the destruction of Sauron's One Ring in the last years of the Third Age, the Elven-rings also lost their power, including the Three. The Keepers of those Three Rings left Middle-earth together on the White Ship: Galadriel, Elrond and Gandalf, the Keepers of the Three Rings.
The Eldar migrated westwards across the north of Middle-earth in their three groups. The Minyar became known as the Vanyar, meaning the Fair Elves, with golden-blond hair. The Tatyar who migrated west became known as the Noldor or Deep Elves, with deep knowledge of crafts and skills.
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.
