Does Legolas love Thranduil?

Does Legolas love Thranduil?

He never even talks about romance in The Lord of The Rings trilogy. While he became averse to falling in love, the son of Thranduil did not become loveless. Legolas traded romance for strong, loving companionship among friends.

Do Legolas and Thranduil get along?

What I get from the books is that Legolas isn’t that close to Thranduil or they don’t care about each other that intimately. The films: In Desolation of Smaug, Legolas looks like a good, obedient son. They don’t seem particularly intimate but they get along.

What is Legolas to Thranduil?

Legolas was the son of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood, who appeared as “the Elvenking” in The Hobbit.

What happened to Thranduil?

Thranduil is a High Elf, so he is actually very similar to Galadriel and Elrond, the other Elf Lords that we meet in The Hobbit films.

Legolas’ father, the Elven king Thranduil, is fond of Tauriel, and “sees something very special in her”, though she understands that Thranduil would not approve of her pairing with his son, which Thranduil confirms in The Desolation of Smaug when he tells her not to give Legolas false hope of such a relationship.
