Legolas shooting stuff.... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nope. It would still be much easier to shoot the opponent through the throat. In the case of the Orcs, they don't have armor over their throats. They have armor in all the other places.

As for the Wargs, like I said in my previous post, Legolas has a much better chance of killing the beast if he shoots it through the throat. Even if he nicks the jugular, the animal will bleed to death. If he nicks its underbelly, the only thing that will happen is that the hairy thing will go mad with pain, and start attacking even more fiercely.

When you're a warrior, the main thing on your mind during a fight is to inflict the most damage on your opponent. Legolas was a warrior, and Tolkien knew that. That's why it seems to be a coincidence that he constantly shoots things through the throat.
