The key word here is

Restraint. It's a powerful tool. The oilphaunt scene works because there's only one oilphaunt scene. There's nothing as over the top from that character anywhere else in the film.

Another key word might be escalation. We see Legolas do things throughout LOTR that are gradually heightened. In contrast, look at his introduction in DOS.
