"Why Legolas? Because he possesses a beauty and integrity that some may wish was present in our own world. Legolas has strength, courage, beauty, intelligence, purity, etc. that expresses what many dream of having. If our world was tainted with people who had the likeness of Legolas, we would be living in an amazing, lavish world where, throughout our trials and tribulations, we would still find time to "sing about trees". :-) For instance, my country, Ireland, is so submersed in fighting and foolish folly that we never stop to think how blessed we are to reside in such a beautiful land. I pray for the people who live in lands whose fighting make it hard to carry on with life (especially those in the Holy Lands of the Middle East). I hope that we all can remember the strength of Legolas, as well as the Fellowship, despite the disputes they had to face, and remember to stay strong and keep peace in out hearts. Basically, to me, Legolas shows the perfect example of perfection that our society today possibly lacks."- Legilmalith
"Why Legolas? Well, I was first drawn to the character through the film, Orlando Bloom's portrayl of Legolas was amazing, it was like Orlando had given him a face. He is hauntingly beautiful, even if he wasn't played by Orlando I still think he would have amazing elvish beauty. He is skilled with a bow and arrow and can fight excellently. But I have to admit, it's the ears and the long blonde hair and blue eyes and basically Orlando which does it for me."- Elven Emz
"When I first saw a commercial for the Lord of the Rings, I was immediately drawn to Orlando Bloom as Legolas. After seeing the movie I am even more enthralled. He's everything I could imagine a "perfect" male to be, amazingly beautiful, strong and capable of doing battle, yet sensitive enough to sing and care about nature. And let's not forget, knowledgable, wise, and ageless :)"- Amy
"1)His youthfulness, child-like wonder and curiosity.
2)He is an immortal who loves his mortal friends unreservedly, even though he knows it is a grief for the elves to watch everything die around them.
3)Going to Path of the Dead despite the warning which he thought meant death.
4)The sea-longing, his struggle between the sea and his love of middle-earth and his friends. " -Esther Chen
"I love Legolas!I dunno why I like him I guess it's his skill with the bow and arrow. He lets his actions speak for him cause he doesn't say much, and I love the blonde hair. He looks really cool! Oh and He's adventurous too! Which I think is grea! :)! " -skittle
"He´s so noble, he´s got this wonderful purity of spirit and these gorgeous, superhuman powers, and he´s "fair of face beyond the measure of Men" - so how can one help falling back into the habits of puberty and daydream like a 13 -year -old?" -tine
"I love Legolas he draws to me because of his personality and not just his looks." -tiena
"1) because he is honest and true- an old fashioned hero. He is not motivated by greed.
2) He is a bit of a mystery - exotic and other-worldly.
3) He is so nice to look at!" -ridleyfan
"Why Legolas? One word:perfection. He is what every woman wants and what every man wants to be. My father has taught me about Tolkien since I was 9 years old.. and I became very excited when I heard they were making movies based on his books. Legolas has always been my favorite and always will be. Orlando played the perfect Legolas in my eyes, only wished he had a bigger part. In my eyes, he could do no wrong; sexy, smart,graceful,elegant and excellent with the bow and arrow... That's why Legolas." -amanda pittman
