Part 2/8:

In the films, Legolas's crowning achievement is defeating an Oliphaunt single-handedly. He doesn't just take down the beast; he also dispatches the Haradrim warriors controlling it, all while executing a stylish descent from the creature. This standout scene almost didn’t make the cut, as director Peter Jackson initially considered it overly exaggerated. Thankfully, it remains one of Legolas's most memorable moments.
