Legolas was considered to have unmatched skills with a bow and as he reacted with lightning speed and lethal accuracy, this was obviously a great benefit to the Fellowship. Little is known about Legolas and it was thought that since he was a Prince of Mirkwood he could have led some form of defense. This would have helped to better his skills and claimed many orc lives. When the Fellowship was forged Legolas carried with him a standard Mirkwood bow, or so it appeared. In appearance it was made of dark wood, carved in the style of Númenorean longbows and fashioned with a pattern of golden leaves. It was thought that Legolas made this bow himself in his youth and was made for firing from within tree canopies. When strung, this bow stood at 60 inches and could easily fire an arrow with great force across a 250-yard reach. The arrows of Mirkwood were stained to match the coloring of the bow and were sturdy. They were 30 inches long and pointed with narrow tips that were designed to pierce both armour and flesh.
In Lórien, Legolas was given a bow blessed by the Lady Galadriel; it was carved from a single piece of mallorn heartwood. This bow was paler than his other, and was carved so it appeared to have leaves and vines climbing over it. When the Lorien bow was strung it measured 68 inches and could send an arrow 400 yards with great accuracy. The string of this bow was rumored to contain a single strand of the Lady Galadriel’s hair. The arrows of Lórien were 40 inches long and thinner in make than the Mirkwood arrows. The arrows were dyed green and their tips were crafted into the shape of the mallorn leaves, which greatly increased the damage inflicted on a target. The Lórien quiver was crafted from wood and covered with leather and was crafted with the design of a peacock. This quiver held two dozen arrows and was belted across Legolas’ shoulders and torso ensuring that it did not move during travelling or battle. Legolas’s white knives were kept in pearl-coloured scabbards that were attached to Legolas’ quiver when not needed.
These knives were a little less than two feet in length and were both held by eight-inch long handles. They were curved in the symbolic shape of a living shoot; and their blades were made from the finest steel and engraved with a fine pattern of vines and scrollwork. They were honed on the downward side, giving Legolas an edge when fighting. The knives were fashioned so that Legolas could use them quickly, and in slashing stroke and short stabbing motions. Legolas would have relied on his hand and body speed in order to keep himself from getting wounded. Legolas never used a sword save for in the Battle at Helm’s Deep when he rode out with Théoden and Aragorn. The only armour that Legolas was known to wear were leather braces, though when he was preparing for the Battle of Helm’s Deep he also wore pauldrons of boiled leather. “The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare”“The ring must be destroyed!” — Legolas' line when entering the game “Your friends are with you.”

Legolas Greenleaf was an Elf prince from Mirkwood, the son of King Thranduil. When the One Ring, the weapon of Sauron, was reported to have been found, Legolas was sent to Rivendell as one of the representatives of the Elves at the Council of Elrond. He, along with eight other members of the Council, joined what would be known as The Fellowship of the Ring to protect and aid Frodo on his quest to take the ring to the one place it could be destroyed: the volcano Mount Doom, the birthplace of the ring located in the heart of Sauron's realms, Mordor While in the Fellowship, Legolas met and became good friends with the Wizard Gandalf and the ranger Aragorn, who was the heir to the throne of Gondor. Legolas and the Dwarf Gimli, having gotten off to a rocky start at the Council of Elrond, nevertheless came to respect each other, if not grudgingly.
Legolas was extremely skilled with a bow and arrow missing only one target during his journey, due to Gimli deliberately jolting his bow. Legolas also carried two Elven knives. In combat, he showed creativity and adaptation, once sliding down a staircase standing on a shield, all the while firing his bow. He was with the rest of the Fellowship when they were crossing the bridge to escape the Balrog in the Mines of Moria and witnessed Gandalf falling into the pit, as well as Batman rescuing him. Shortly afterwards, they saw Ring-Bearer Frodo Baggins being sucked into the Vortex with the One Ring and Gandalf and Batman entering in to save him, leaving him and the others dumb-folded and confused.
