Ditto on what everyone's said so far.

In an interesting bit of trivia, though, the movies did leave out Elrond's twin sons (Arwen's older brothers), Elladan and Elrohir. They weren't present at the battle of Helm's Deep, but did participate in the the battle of Pelennor Fields in Gondor (and accompanied Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn and co. during the Path of the Dead bits, if I remember correctly). So, technically, Legolas wasn't the only elf that fought in some of the later main battles.

Technically, he was. Elrond's sons were classed as half-elves, though their actual biology is more like three-quarters Elvish. They're never, ever classed as Elves in the books.

[undersaffiresky]

I guess if we're going by that little technicality, then yes. Though in another way, they were by virtue of being around (as you said) around 3/4 elven due to heritage complications going on. I guess they were an "elven presence" at least. ...Don't think it ever said which side they chose in the end, though I doubt it would make much difference.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, they're elves in that they have all the elven traits, they just share the choice of mortality or removal to Valinor that all part-human elves have, and since they haven't made their choice yet, they're still considered in flux, I think. Their father, having made his choice, is always referred to as an elf, sans qualifiers. In any case, from the perspective of the humans they're fighting with, if not the perspective of the text, they're definitely elves, not men, in the same way Arwen is never treated as a human woman by the text.

[(Anonymous)]

...but he's known as Elrond Halfelven. I know he went with Elf, but I certainly wouldn't say it isn't referred to.
