Is Gimli stronger than Legolas in Lord of the Rings?

Answer 1

This is really comparing apples and Oranges, as dwarves and elves are so vastly different as to make comparing their strengths quite difficult. For one comparison, however, we may use Legolas' and Gimli's respective head counts from the Battle of Helm's Deep, in which Legolas killed 41 orcs, and Gimli 42. Thus we can fairly say that their skill in weaponry, and thus respective strength, is about equal. ---- I say Gimli is stronger because he's a fast Troll. Legolas isn't fast he's just an archer. ---- This question cannot be answered, like most "who is more x" questions about a sweeping topic without a way of measuring it. Corrections to comments above: Strength can not be measured in headcounts. Gimli is not a troll. Legolas is not 'only' an archer.

Answer 2

Well, it is a very opinionated thing, neither one is truly stronger than the other, in my opinion, but Legolas is quicker and has more agility, has better sight and sharper senses, which would be useful in combat.
And Aragorn is probably physically stronger, and more willful; so Aragorn is probably stronger, but not as skillful, so they are about even.
It really depends on who they are fighting.

Answer 3

Due to the fact that dwarrow are said to be stronger than men and stronger through rage it would mean Gimli. But he is also not as well-trained as other dwarrow giving the fact that he says he is bad at running but the work load is said to get lighter with activity. I think Aragorn is more in shape. So I have to say Aragorn would win but raw strength would've been Gimli!

Answer 4

Yes, Gandalf was a gray/white wizard. Radagast was brown. Gandalf was more advanced than Radagast.

Answer 5

Most likely Legolas would win due to their weapon preferences. Legolas would be able to shoot Gimli from outside of Gimli's axe range.

Answer 6

Yes!
