If you read about Glorfindel you'll understand cos I had the same problem with him. I figured since he died in the Silmarillion could he be the same guy in 'the fellowship of the ring'. The thing is, elves are immortal so when they lose their bodies their spirits go to halls of Mandos until he decides it's time for them to be reborn and sent back to middle-earth. So legolas is probably the same guy in a new body. How do I knwo this? Cos I'm a Tolkien freak!
