If these titanic elfs should ever fight who would win.
Both have the youth of the elfs and they both use dual scrimitars.

Drizzt, for sure! As well as being a highly skilled two-weapon swordsman, he also has the use of innate magic of the drow to aid him (not that he will need it in such a fight  ) |

| Hmm... Good question. I think in fighting with twin scimitars, Drizzt would win, but Legolas is really good with his bow, and I doubt Drizzt can parry arrows. I guess it all depends on the situation. Both of them are quite skilled. |

| Drizzt's innate drow magic should counter Legolas's bow by dropping a globe of darkness on him and maybee even some levitating |

| Indeed, I agree. It would depend on the situation. But in an all out brawl, Drizzt for sure. |

| Drizzt is very skilled with a bow also. But Drizzt would still win because he has the Hunter. |

| *sigh* Legolas is my favorite... but I'd still have to say Drizzt. Legolas is good with a bow, but Drizzt has twin scimitars and the panther. |

| I recall that Drizzt lost his ability to levitate a while after he joined the surface world. But who would win, Drizzt of course he is alot more skilled and he could summon Guen, I like Legolas but I think he doesn't have enough skill to compare with Drizzt's. |

I suppose it would depend on the combat situation. If Legolas spotted Drizzt at range, Im sure the drow and his panther would be peppered with arrows by the time he got into melee range (thats including the bracers of the blinding strike on his ankles) 
On the other hand, in melee combat the drow ranger would make a mess of the wood elf. 
In conclusion there is way too many factors to consider. Fighting styles, magical weapons, and the fact being, WOULD they fight each other? Dont think Drow exist in Middle Earth!!

I agree with whoever said it first, if it came to a distance fight, I think maybe legolas would win. But I definietly think Drizzt would win otherwise. he's got more tricks up his sleeves than legolas does.
this is just my opinion though. |

Drizzt has the advantage in the battle with Mithril chainmail +4
his scimitars and those bracelets that he puts on his wrists or ankles to greatly increase his speed. Legolas, I believe has practically nothing in the field of magic. |

Drizzt would win because of pure skill not because of what else he
has. Legolas is good but still not as skillful as Drizzt. |

*Drizzt is also an elf(drow)which doesn't give Legolas an advantage.
You must be joking 70 years too old for an elf? Bah, not likely elves especially the drow race have an incredibly long life span so Drizzt is actuallly young for a drow. |

Drizzt, I know you...er I mean Drizzt, would totally lose to Legolas. How could Drizzt beat a young, cool elf like Legolas. Besides, Legolas is an easier name to pronounce. Legolas is the best, and he would totally beat you...I mean Drizzt. Also you said this was a Forgotten Realms forum, not a LOTR forum. Sorry to tell you, but The Forgotten Realms wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for JRR Tolkien's LOTR. Elves, Hobbits, Orcs, Goblins, and everything else was invented for Middle Earth, not stupid woopid pansy "Faerun", not that I dont like Faerun. My answer is Legolas would win. PERIOD!! |

| Drizzt is actually easier to pronounce, he is also ver very young and agile, and he would kill Legolas in like two seconds. Legolas stands no chance against Drizzt Do'Urden. |

| There would be no such a fight,not because they are not in the same realm but also Drizzt would never fight a fellow good elf in the purpose of killing.He would make every bit of thing to avoid this brawl and if he couldn't do it he would die before thinking to kill or win over legolas.And I am pretty sure that he would win friendship of legolas or if not he would make him understand that he doesn't want a fight or anything like it. |

| Well...I know my drowish brothers and I must say that Drizzt would win, for sure. He's ambidextrous, quick and skillful, so his scimitars should touch Legolas's chest faster than his arrows would kill Drizzt... |

First of all we are trying to say what would happen if the two fought because it would be interesting to see who is better. Not blocked by morals just a good fight.
And again have to say that Drizzt would win over Legolas. People are trying to state that Drizzt is old because he is 70 years old.
Drizzt is a DROW ELF he ages like and elf because he is an ELF. He is not some pushover old man he is very young and much more skilled at fighting than Legolas. |

You just proved the [sarcasm]'usefullness'[/sarcasm] of this discussion by re-itterating your view. It will only be the Drizzt fans saying the drow would win and the Legolas fans that the LotR ellf will win. In other words a basic pissing contest without ever coming to a conclusion.
If the point is to hear opinions of others, then let that be and don't stress your own view. That implies the topic is open for 'discussion' which it not really is since the whole thing is hypothetical to begin with. |

Well....I wouldn`t know who would win but it would be cool to see those to fight or be friends or whatever. It would just be cool to see the two together.
I can`t really choose I just really like elfs |

Okay, let's see. I haven't read the books in a long time, but in the movies the only short-range weapons Legolas has are his fighting-knives. (In case you don't know what I mean, that's okay. He doesn't use them anywhere near as much as his bow, but you can see them sticking up from his quiver. It's where he keeps them.) Against two scimitars, those would be next to useless. Now, at a range, Legolas is an amazing archer, even among elves.
My conclusion? It would depend on the situation. If they meet up in an open place where Legolas gets a good shot before Drizzt gets in close, Drizzt is likely dead. If not, Legolas is.
However, I don't think it would be "cool" to see these two titans duel each other. Not only would you be upset no matter who dies, the bad guys would win. After all, one less good guy.
Now, what WOULD be cool is if they fought together, on the same side. Imagine them in the Mines of Moria, or in the Underdark. THAT I would like to see. |

| I think the opinions on this topic are biased towards the Forgotten Realms for ovbious reasons. If this question was asked to a fan of both FR and LOTR, he wouldn't say "neither, they wouldn't fight because they are in different realms," he would say his honest, unbiased, opinion. My biased opinion would be Legolas, because I know more about LOTR then about FR. But, after thinking a little more, I still think Legolas would win, even though they both have a good chance. I heard from vlad the impaler that Drizzt is like 70 years old. This shows that Legolas has the advantage. Unless Drizzt has some abnormal superpower that I am unaware of, I strongly believe Legolas would tottally win. I think there is no way a 70 year old fool is going to win, not that he definitly wouldnt. |

| Drizzt is 70 years old, i'm sure he is older than Legolas. 70 years is very young for a drow they live a bit over 5 centuries, so Drizzt has seen more adventures than Legolas, he's experienced more and has especially been trained in the underdark by Zaknafein who was the greatest weapon master of Menzoberranzan. Drizzt surely has the advantage but since Drizzt is good of heart he wouldnt fight to kill they would probably be friends as was mentioned earlier in the topic but surely they both are respective fighters. |

| Why do people assume that scince Drizzt is 70, he would lose. 70 IS NOT OLD FOR ELVES. They live to much older than that, and unless i'm wrong, it said in the first LoTR movie that Legolas was older still (I may be wrong about that). |

Just like Salius said. He's not a human and he's not a 70 year old man, but a young drow...I suppose that he may have problems when he would be 540 years old(Maybe even then, he would be very good at fencing...)
AND...HE'S NOT A FOOL!!! |

It think at this point i should maybe point out that in tolkiens world elves are immortal, and in the forgotten realms Elves tend to 'leave' the world at round about 1400 years old. Now after reading this i see that alot of people are descirbing Drizzt as old, however Legolas is about 3000 years old!
The two elves are totally differant, if legolas was transported into the Toril he would be about lv 7 i think (At least i hope) He is not a hugh hero of middle earth like, Elrond, Gandalf, Gil-Galad, Galadriel, whom would all be very high levels. Rather he would be some what lower. Now drizzt is what lv16 (i forget now) and was a lv20 fighter (Am i right?) he is armed to the teeth with magical items. Drizzt would easily win. Legolas does not have any magical items as in Middle-Earth the basic 2nd level adventurer doesnt carry a magical item.
Any way i don't think it is fair to compaire the two of them, theu are totally differant- I feel its a bit like saying, who would win a lv 1 wizard at the start of his career, or Elminster. But as Mumadar says its just Hypothetical!
Well that my view.
Hanx Elrond
Oh and btw, aragorn was also alot older than people give him credit 4 in LOTR he was around about the 80 mark, but with he blood the Dunedain flowing through his vains. Don't believe me check your LOTR Appendix number 2 |
Once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-
While i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
