He is either older than the creation of ME or we mark time from when he arrives on middle earth. (He entered existence before the beginning of time, participating in the "Music of the Ainur" which shaped the world.) Legolas was born sometime in the Third Age (possibly early ~87TA per movie lore). Gandolf arrived in 1000TA, after the other Wizards, around the time the shadow fell over greenwood/murkwood. permalink fedilink source parent
