I may be wrong, but the odd fame of Galadriel among the men is just to show up how much that people forgot about the old and have no contact with magic and elfs like in the old times...
Tolkien said once that Legolas was of the fellows the one who did less in the definitive fall of Sauron (Which fits with the idea of the importance of the men growing. Just in sequence he says Galadriel power come from her Goodness, which let clear the vision of her as wicked was wrong). There is no much reason then to assume Legolas was any more powerful than Elrond or Galadriel, but the Legolas of the movie, that could have won alone the battle in the Helm's Depth [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
