Legolas couldn't take on a Balrog.... only High Elves of terrible power can do that. Like Glorfindel; he fought one at Gondolin and died. And Echthelion of the Fountain, same thing.

So Legolas is from the wrong side of the ocean?

Is this the same Glorfindel that saves Frodo at the fords in the book. If he died he can't be, but I have noticed the Elves don't have too many juiors or the second or the third, probably due to their longevity. Ergo, how does a dead elf from the second(?) age save a little hobbit at the end of the third age?
