[@YouSoerenTube]

I'm really not the emotional kind of guy, but knowing all their stories come to an end at some point, even though none of these characters ever existed, just filled me with a deep sadness suddenly. I was in a great mood, but then "The eight companions would never gather togehter again" hit me like a truck. It's weird how stories can move you so easily. You'd wish their adventures would go on forever, but Aragon dies, Gimli and Legolas depart to Valinor, same for Frodo and Sam and so on and that's just the end, there is nothing to tell anymore and I sit here at 3am in front of my PC nearly crying. Weird stuff

[@СтаньоКоновски]

Despite the world having faded with the passing of magical things into myth and legend, I really like the last stanza of "The song of Durin', "...but still the sunken stars appear, in dark and windless Mirrormere. There lies his crown in water deep, 'til Durin wakes from sleep."

So Galadriel’s prediction essentially meant that when he went to the sea, his heart would be there instead of the forest. The sea began to “call” to him, in a sense. Fitting, since the Sylvan Elves are Teleri.

Legolas is Sindarin, though

Yes, it means his heart will belong to the sea. However, Legolas is a Sindarin elf. He lives among the Silvan elves of Mirkwood, but is not one. Sindarin elves are also among the Teleri though.

[@P23P119]

@@NerdoftheRings right, his dad is from Doriath, my mistake

[@EmblemParade]

I always read more into it: it's not just the sea that's calling him, it's Aman beyond. It's a weariness with Middle-Earth, the many sorrows of war and killing and losing friends. By becoming so personally entangled in the grand forces of history and war against evil, Legolas has lost that timeless purity of silvan elves forever abiding in the secluded woodlands.

Sauron utterly destroyed Eregion. As Legolas notes, everything is gone but the stones on the ground. No trees ,no grass, no buildings. The West door of Moria is the only thing ever of Eregion that remained.

The story of Gimli and Legolas's friendship is probably one of my favorites in all of LoTR, by far.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Surprised you didn't mention the significance of Galadriel's three hairs & how Gimli's request impressed Legolas. I'm pretty sure that's the point where he began to respect the dwarf & change some of his attitude's towards his kind.

[@NerdoftheRings]

I mentioned that in my Galadriel video, and will likely feature that in a future video on Gimli. :) Thanks for watching!

[@amberpippin7538]

They were already friends by that point. Legolas spent a good deal of his time in Lorien exploring the realm with Gimli. As the book says, that was a surprise to everyone. I'm sure the incident with the three hairs just confirmed what he already had begun to learn.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

@@amberpippin7538 Yeah. It's been about 20 years since I read the books.

[@Nexaes]

Sir you have one thing missing. Legolas also keeps his word and visit glittering caves with Gimli. Legolas was left speechless after visiting them, one of the few times that a dwarf has bested an elf with words...

[@gerdz101]

That story telling and choice of music made me shed a tear. What a wonderful of friendship of Legolas and Gimli.

[@mgtogno]

I feel like legolas was very old, but he was also very sheltered by his father in Mirkwood, once his father tells legolas to go into the fellowship Legolas always seemed mesmerize by the travels and places he could visit, he in fact saw everything in middle earth with Gimli and then he travel to the seas to see other lands. Legolas was a great character, he was very wise, capable and impressive, but he was always humble and kind to everyone. I really love how he looked at life and at all things as if it was the first time.

[@sslocke]

I always like to think he was either born at the very end of the 2nd Age or the beginning of the the 3rd. Thranduil either going to war or coming back back after losing his father would be in need of an heir. But agree that Legolas was likey very sheltered as he had never been to Lorien despite it being so close to Mirkwood. Though that could've been because of its proximity to Dor Guldur that travel between the two elf realms stopped after 1000 TA. So for me i think he is anywhere from 3000 to 2000 by the time of FotR. Old enough to have wisdom but young enough to have many things unknown to him

[@d3m1g0d4]

As a kid my friends and I thought Legolas's arrow in his quiver were magical since they never got finished and remained a steady number through the trilogy

[@AskMia411]

Iirc Legolas is mentioned several times retrieving his arrows after a battle. But even with that, he’d have to make more at some point. Movie Legolas however is never out of arrows, which like guns never being out of ammo is a pacing device in movies. It’s jarring when you notice it, but there’s reasons why filmmakers keep doing it (some of which are better than others)

[@cirion6000]

Galadriels words to Legolas remind me of the passage in the silmarillion that those that hear the musicof Ulmo “hear it ever in their hearts, and longing for the sea never leaves them again”

Legolas Greenleaf is also mentioned in The Fall of Gondolin. He helps lead the survivors across the Cristhorn to escape the siege. Considering Tolkein wrote the Fall of Gondolin twenty years before LOTR, I think it is safe to assume that he really loved the character he created. So much so that he recycled the name and traits for use in LOTR.

Peter Jackson got a lot of things wrong in my opinion. But the moment in Moria when Legolas realizes that a Balrog is coming, and the camera pauses on him and you see that moment of fear...you know that Jackson understood the gravity of that moment in the book. It is the single best shot of the entire trilogy for me.

[@ryanmaxwell5076]

Legolas’ age has always interested me because he _does_ seem to be plenty youthful if not spritely when comparing what most of the other elves do throughout LOtR. And he also seems to “respect his elders” when dealing with anyone like Elrond or Galadriel which seems youthful in a sense. He definitely doesn’t present or position himself as anyone else’s elder or offer advice that often as the more millennia old elves tend to do. But considering the things he says about his age to the fellowship, I always pictured him to be 900-2800 years old. Still young in middle earth mind you. As this would put him a few hundred years into the third age at the very oldest. (Maybe around the time the Istari came?)But far older than an average man or dwarf. Which is why he sometimes talks down to them lol.

[@matteosherpafiorini8291]

I wonder when relations between mirkwod and lorien broke down. It would be a good help in guessing his age as he was probably born after that relationship between the two realms ended.

[@NerdoftheRings]

That's a great point! I'll have to look into that! I know it would be sometime in the 3rd age, as they marched to war together in the Last Alliance.

[@szabok1999]

@@NerdoftheRings My guess is after the final battle of the Last Allience. Their armies suffered the greatest losses, and they marched together under one leader. It is possible that the two wood elf armies started to blame each other for the casualties.

[@O-sa-car]

It was Oropher’s fault for unilaterally attacking the lines of Mordor without Gil-Galad’s orders

[@anaknipara]

My personal take on Legolas' age is that he's more or less just a thousand years old. As what was said Legolas had never been in Lorien which would be doubtful if he was born in the 2nd age or even earlier in the 3rd age like the children of Elrond, as his grandfather and father had a favorable relations with Lorien's king Amdir and Amroth. I was thinking he was born after Thranduil had moved his people northward in Greenwood in TA1050 and after Celeborn and Galadriel had assumed the lordship of Lorien after Amroth had died in TA 1080-1081

[@M.W.Zastrow]

Best quote EVER Legolas: Final count, forty-two. Gimli: Forty-two? Oh, that's not bad for a pointy-eared elvish princeling. Hmph! I myself am sitting pretty on forty-THREE. Legolas: Forty-three.

Thanks for making this brilliant video, which makes me want to revisit the LOTR books one more time to pick up those details I have missed. 🙏

You always use the best music when telling the lore, I wish I knew why I feel near tears at times

How Gimli goes with Legolas to the western lands in the end as an old Dwarf gets me everytime.

[@TY-up1xp]

I love that last drawing of Legolas and Gimli. It's one of my favorite depictions of Middle Earth.

[@leadbone1]

Yay new NOTR content!

[@catlinferris5970]

Legolas is really the Achilles of this story

[@oikawa3647]

legolas is my favorite lotr character 🥺

[@maniacalmurderer4123]

I love the fact that the balrog is so feared that is caused gimli to drop his axe and invoke fear in Legolas. If a balrog alone could inspire this much terror, I can only imagine what seeing morgoth on the battlefield is like.

Wonderful. This has made me want to read the books again. There's so much I'd forgotten.

[@reconquereastprussia]

The ending gave me goosebumps. ❤️
