Legolas
Legolas does very little in the novels — he is a member of the Fellowship with a handful of lines and no arc to speak of — and the films expanded him considerably because Orlando Bloom's version turned out to be the breakout. What the character does carry, in both versions, is the friendship with Gimli, which matters more than it first appears: elves and dwarves in Tolkien's world have centuries of mutual grievance behind them, and the two spending the war competing over a kill count and ending it as inseparable is the closest the story comes to arguing that old hatreds are a choice.

- Created by
- J. R. R. Tolkien
- Also known as

Who is Legolas?
Legolas does very little in the novels — he is a member of the Fellowship with a handful of lines and no arc to speak of — and the films expanded him considerably because Orlando Bloom's version turned out to be the breakout. What the character does carry, in both versions, is the friendship with Gimli, which matters more than it first appears: elves and dwarves in Tolkien's world have centuries of mutual grievance behind them, and the two spending the war competing over a kill count and ending it as inseparable is the closest the story comes to arguing that old hatreds are a choice. He is also Tolkien's clearest demonstration of what elves actually are — not delicate but ancient, capable of walking on snow and going without sleep, and quietly out of step with mortal time.
Legolas: the details

- Created by
- J. R. R. Tolkien
- Small part in the books
- A handful of lines and no real arc; the films expanded him after the performance broke out
- The friendship with Gimli

Why Legolas endures
The breakout of Peter Jackson's trilogy, and the vehicle for the story's most sustained argument that inherited enmity between peoples is a choice rather than a fact.
What Legolas looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: A longbow, fair hair, forest greens and greys; elvish leaf brooch
The elven leaf brooch of Lothlórien is a small, elegant mark that works as a minimal print, and the bow silhouette is the action alternative. Forest green, silver and grey — a quieter palette than most of this catalogue.
The Lothlórien leaf brooch is an elegant minimal mark; the bow silhouette is the action alternative. Forest green, silver and grey — quieter than most of this catalogue and good on heather and natural garments.
