I am against change just for the sake of change, but what is the problem of having Legolas at the battle of five armies? Yes he was not specifically mentioned to be there in the book, but there was a good chance he was there. I mean there is a precedent of Elf kings going to war with their heirs. So why not use this as a chance to reintroduce a character we know well from the LOTR.

I am all for Legolas playing a big role in the story and being at Thranduil's side.
