J'ai trouvé ceci sur un site :
Legolas (who's name meant "green leaf") was the son of Thranduil, the Sindar King of Northern Mirkwood.The date of Legolas birth is never given by Tolkien. Many Tolkien scholars speculate that his birth was likely around the same time as Arwens (who was born 241 Third Age), which would possibly make Legolas approximately 2778 years old during the War of the Ring.
et ceci sur un autre site:
Little is known about Legolas's early life. His date of birth is not known, though he made some vague references to his age:
"It [Fangorn] is old, very old," said the Elf. "So old that almost I feel young again, as I have not felt since I journeyed with you children."
The Two Towers: "The White Rider," p. 94
"Five hundred times have the red leaves fallen in Mirkwood in my home since then," said Legolas, "and but a little while does that seem to us."
The Two Towers: "The King of the Golden Hall," p. 111
"These are the strangest trees that ever I saw," he said; "and I have seen many an oak grow from acorn to ruinous age."
The Two Towers: "The Road to Isengard," p. 152
Based on these comments it would appear that Legolas was at least several hundred years old at the time of the War of the Ring, and possibly even several thousand, but an exact age cannot be determined. The age attributed to the character of Legolas in Peter Jackson's film version of The Lord of the Rings is 2,931; however, this figure has no basis in the text.
