Legolas's Age - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Wow, all these little facts and guesses are making me confused. My only opinion of Legolas' age (in the books) comes from the fact that he just seems to "act younger" than Elrond. For example, he shows his temper a few times-I just read past the point when Aragorn, Gimli & Legolas encounted the Riders of Rohan, which has Legolas and Gimli *this* close to unleashing a bloody battle. Somehow, I can't put Elrond in the same situation and picture him doing the exact same thing. Basically, it all boils down to a "feeling I have, a feeling. Perhaps you don't understand." (can anyone name that play?...Didn't think so...12 Angry Jurors-formerly 12 Angry Men. I played the racist character. Sorry for the random digression).
