Part 5/8:
In the cinematic portrayal, Legolas's acrobatic feats challenge the laws of physics, such as surfing down an Oliphaunt. However, Tolkien does not explicitly state that Legolas performs such gravity-defying acts. Yet, there are hints of his extraordinary capabilities. In the text, he moves with a lightness that leaves barely a trace on the ground, suggesting a form of supernatural agility. This interpretation may have inspired the more exaggerated stunts seen in the films.
