To futher elaborate. I'd say my guess of 7k and change is probally along the lines of the oldest Legolas could be could be. However, I am certain that a convincing case could be made to put Legolas as the same one we read of in the Fall of Gondolin, but that just goes to show that Legolas could be just about any age. I do, however wish to add a couple more notes for the discussion.
We know that Thranduil was alive early in the second age, and very likely in the first. I offer that Elrond was born late in the First Age but didn't have his first children until early in the Third Age.
And lastly, in regards to Legolas' age:
