Legolas, Companion of the Ring has his arrow nocked on the wrong side of the bow.

[Dictionary]

lol, so he does, I had never noticed that before! Now it just looks... strange, like an optical illusion or something. Just remembered Saruman, my favourite image for him is probably Saruman, Many-Coloured Wizard (D), even though that card was never printed.

[Dictionary]

Do you have a One Ring preference, btw? I like The Binding Ring best, although ATAR would probably be a close second.

Legolas, Companion of the Ring has his arrow nocked on the wrong side of the bow.

What makes you think that? The arrow is to the left of the bow, resting on his left hand. Where it should imo.

[Not a Zombie]

That is the modern way to knock an arrow. It is much slower than knocking it on the other side.
