Legolas, Gimli, and the sons of Elrond participated in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. When he and Gimli entered Minas Tirith after the war, Legolas performed an elven song and said that the city needed more gardens. They met Prince Imrahil and visited the Houses of Healing, where he sang a song about his recently rekindled desire for the sea and remembered the cries of the gulls at Pelargir. Thranduil, the King of the Northern Mirkwood Elves, had only one son, Legolas. The name of his mother or his exact birthdate is not known. Green leaf is the Silvan dialect form of the pure Sindarin name Laegolas. The Sindarin people were distant relatives and ancestors of the later Silvan Elves under the rule of Thranduil, and it is possible that Thranduil named his son Legolas in part to allude to them. Legolas was not entirely of the Silvan Elves, even though he lived among them. Legolas was at least part Sindar, the son of the Elven-king Thranduil, who had originally come from Doriath; it is not even known who his mother was. The fact that Legolas was a member of the tiny minority of Sindarin Elves, who dominated the primarily Silvan Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood, further complicates this. After Morgoth was vanquished and all of the great Elf-kingdoms of Beleriand were destroyed, the Sindarin nobles in that realm, who ought to have been wiser and noble than the Silvan Elves, can be considered to have become more native at the end of the First Age. Legolas valued and respected nature, much like all other Elves. He desired to return to Fangorn Forest to delve deeper into its wonders after the Fellowship left. Despite the fact that in Middle-earth, Elves and Dwarves seldom rarely showed affection for one another, he was a good friend who cared deeply for his friends, including Gimli the Dwarf.
