Legolas's Powers in Lord of the Rings

Legolas was first introduced in the Council of Elrond as the only elf in the Fellowship and is the only son of Thranduil of Mirkwood. At the time, most of the Elves were not in battle unlike the previous ages, where there were more Elves fulfilling such roles.

Legolas was mainly known for his eyesight, hearing, and bowmanship, which is evident by his ability to draw a Great War-bow and shoot down a Nazgul in LOTR. He was also the most tireless of all the Fellowship and would be the companion of Aragorn and Eomer in the heat of the fighting, being the vanguard of the Army of the West. And lastly, he was also able to develop a friendship with a dwarf, Gimli, after a long standing feud between the Elves and the Dwarves.

“The Legolas of the story was an Elvish prince of Sindarin race,…clad in the green and brown of the Silvan Elves over whom his father ruled, tall as a young tree, lithe, immensely strong, able swiftly to draw a Great War-bow and shoot down a Nazgul, endowed with the still tremendous vitality of elvish bodies, so hard and resistant to hurt that he went only in light shoes over rock or through snow (I 306), the most tireless of the fellowship.”
