Well, since Tolkien did not really explain what Legolas looked like, I like to stick to the movie version.
What caught my interest, is that why did Finarfin have golden hair? If blonde (his mother) gene is weaker (there's a word for that, but English isn't my first language) and dark (his father) is stronger, does that mean Finwe had blonde genes as well?
Pheww.... Feel free to ignore me, too much coffee [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
