Lord Of The Rings: Yes, Frodo Does Talk To Legolas

Several Redditors have noted the fact that Frodo and Legolas have so little to say to one another over the course of «The Lord of the Rings» trilogy, pointing out that Frodo even neglects to say Legolas’ name when they’re finally reunited at in «The Return of the King,» despite happily exclaiming most of the other characters’ names. «But then, even at the end of Return of the King, when everyone’s coming in to see Frodo while he’s recovering, Frodo doesn’t say his name,» notes u/killerofheroes on the r/movies subreddit. «He says the names of most of the other characters who enter but just exchanges a smile with Legolas.»

However, u/CaspianX2 points out that Legolas does speak to Frodo a few times in «The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,» albeit without talking directly to the Hobbit. «There are also plenty of times that Legolas speaks to the entire group and/or no one in particular,» they wrote.

Still, it is interesting to note how little some of the characters speak to one another in «The Lord of the Rings,» especially when you consider how focused the series is on friendship and everlasting bonds. Of course, as we also see throughout the trilogy, sometimes actions speak louder than words, and Legolas shows his loyalty to Frodo as the ringbearer countless times as the story unfolds.
