Húrin is a fictional character in the
In the source material, we know the answer: Legolas was not out of the ordinary. He was an elf warrior, full stop. A good warrior, but of legendary status only because he was part of the Company of the Ring. He does not rank with history's greatest elf warriors, who were on an entirely different level than him.
The One Ring was deemed to be so powerful that entire world wars were fought over it, while the Elven Rings helped the eldest people of Middle-earth to delay the diminishing of their power and maintain realms that were safe from the reach of Mordor.
Sauron: The Big Boss At The End Of The Game
Do you realize that The Lord of the Rings gets its title, not from its protagonist, but from its main villain? From his dominance in the Second Age, all the way to the terror that he wielded during the trilogy, Sauron was peerless in his streak of evil.
Denethor is a steward of Gondor who clearly is threatened by the rise of a claimant to the throne and the rival he sees in Aragorn. But as the man in charge of the greatest and most historically significant kingdom of men left in Middle-earth, Denethor is essentially a king in everything but name.
Round 1: Aragorn wins. He's a great swordsman, and would win sword to sword. If legolas tries to use a bow at 20 ft (which Aragorn can cover in a couple of seconds), he'll only get one shot before Aragorn's in close and killing him.
Legolas was the most renowned archer throughout the Third Age. Earlier in his journey with the Fellowship of the Ring, he used a bow from Mirkwood, and it was later replaced by the bow of the Galadhrim Lady Galadriel gave him.
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.
Luthien was the most potent elf; in Middle Earth, she was also known as Tinviel. She was able to captivate Morgoth and conquer death because she was the sole offspring of an Elven monarch and the Maia spirit.
Morgoth Was Originally More Powerful Than Sauron
In the depths of time, Eru Ilúvatar created Arda and the Valar. He made the Valar to help create and order the world, but the most powerful Valar, Melkor, turned out to be nothing but problems.
Gandalf's age is impossible to determine, but he's likely existed for at least 10,000 years, making him much older than Legolas.
The most important character in Lord of the Rings is none other than Samwise Gamgee, Frodo's close friend and the one who supports him through it all. As Frodo himself admits, he wouldn't have made it without Sam. And that is what makes Sam the most important character in Lord of the Rings.
Hawkeye would probably win the Olympic gold medal, but Legolas could shoot down a Nazgul, says Tolkien.
Ekalavya is called as one of the foremost of Kings in the Rajasuya Yajna where he honours Yudhishthira by offering his shoes with respect. Ekalavya was noted as a powerful archer and warrior.
Sauron. He came into existence before the world was created, but was soon drawn to the power of evil. Eventually he created the One Ring, bringing problems to all of Middle-Earth.
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.
Tolkien called Samwise Gamgee "the chief hero" of The Lord of the Rings, going so far as to refer to the modest Hobbit as "far superior to" himself. Sam's grace, kindness, and undeniable heroism are ultimately responsible for the elimination of Sauron's presence from Middle-earth.
In many ways, Aragorn was the most powerful warrior in the Fellowship. As a Ranger, he had been brought up with the knowledge and experience needed to be both a great fighter and a great leader, and understood combat better than most.
Legolas is genetically predisposed to be a flawless archer. Legolas wins.
Together, the two of them were known as the Blue Wizards. The one in brown was Radagast and the one in grey was Gandalf, seemingly the oldest and the least of the Order.
Frodo and Bilbo were comfortable and well off until T.A. 3001. At this time, Bilbo threw an enormous party to celebrate his 111th birthday, and Frodo's 33rd, the date of Frodo's coming of age. At this party Bilbo gave his farewell speech, and made his long-planned "disappearance" and withdrawal from the Shire.
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.
