Just a thought:
Legolas Grandfather was Orophor who was the first king of the Mirkwood elves. He perished in the Battle of the Last Alliance, and his son Thranduil led the remnant elvish forces home. This means that both Orophor and his heir, Thranduil went to the same War. It was usually the costum among elves and men to leave at least one heir at home, which argues that Legolas (next in line) was left behind. This argues again that he was born in the 2nd Age and would then be more than 3000 years old.
