"Why Legolas? It seems Legolas has a combination of qualities that almost seem impossible. Because he's an Elf he has seen many sad things and yet he's able to maintain a sense of light-heartedness and he's still full of hope. He's old and young at the same time. And the friendship between Legolas and Gimli is one of the greatest friendships ever."-Telàwen
" Legolas is......the 'lightest' member of the fellowship. What I'm talking about is when you saw him anytime (in battle or not), he's clean and neat. Also he has the light hair that makes him different form other fellowship. And of course... because he is immortal, cute and the double personality. Once, he could be so noble and gentle and in the other hand, he could be a great warrior with a bow and arrow." -Earanhill
"Why Legolas> Because he is wise, gentle, brave, strong. I haven't read the books yet, But I think Legolas would be a perfect couple person if only the director set him up with a mortal or something in the third movie, he would be perfect. He is also emotional. When Gandalf fell with the ShadowFlame. He looked like he was ready to cry." -Nevavarw
"Legolas? Why not!! He's fast, strong, skilled with a bow and arrow, and pretty hot, too. (Orlando is, anyway) I also saw the movie before reading the books, *shame on me* but, Legolas is cool in the books as well." -Nina
"Legolas is simply, (in my opinion) the most intriguing of all the characters. He posesses a certain grace and emotional aura that I do not believe other characters could muster. Okay, fine, I admit it.....Orlando Bloom is hot." -Sarah
"Legolas... is an angel. he is the symbol of loyalty, and they, with Gimli, are the symbol of undying friendship, and the un-discrimination of different races (not to mention prejudice). Tolkien is indeed a great writer having created him(Legolas)." -a.m.t.*
"Why Legolas? he is the most fasinating of the fellowship in my opinion, he has this wisdom that comes from being an elf mixed with a childlike facination with the world around him. his respect for all non-evil living things and loyalty to his friends(Gimli, Aragorn) And of course Orlando Bloom portaryed him so well, that when Gandalf "Died" the look on his face made me want to cry. Okay, okay, Orlando is a hottie, and thats a damn good reason!" -Fancy
"Why Legolas..... I think because his character is a mystery. He has almost no background(good for fanfiction writers, and readers like me) and what little we do know make him such an ideal target for our imaginations to play with. Tolkien discribed Legolas as beening beautiful beyond human comprehension. Have to think Tolkien's spirit was wispering in Peter Jackson's ear when he called Orlando to read for the part of Legolas. Or no one would know who Orlando Bloom is." -caranwen
"Aníron Legolas...meaning I desire Legolas. Like many other Elf-lovers I too have fallen in love with him. He seems to be the least-detailed member of the fellowship in Tolkien's work (which I respect greatly), but Orlando Bloom added such charm to him. Even when he didn't speak, his presence was clear, done so through his actions. And he always seemed to be the one who was called apon to save other's necks (the watcher in the water, slaying the cave troll, trying to take down the torch-baring Uru-Kai). To summerise...It's all about the ears. 'Cos Elves kick ass, and anyone who doesn't agree needs to studying them more closely."- Crystar
