What did Legolas shoot down on the Anduin?
TLDR: Legolas shoots down a Nazgul on Fellbeast on the Anduin. This prevents the Nazgul being at Amon Hen allowing Frodo to escape and giving Merry and Pippin a small chance with orcs instead of a Ringwraith.
What Legolas shot was one of the nazgul - or, more specifically, one of the creepy flying “fell beasts” the nazgul were riding. It's never explained what exactly they were.
Description: [A] dark shape, like a cloud and yet not a cloud, for it moved far more swiftly, came out of the blackness in the South, and sped towards the Company, blotting out all light as it approached.
The Sword of Boromir.
Late in The Fellowship of the Ring, the companions encounter a mysterious being that we only later discover to be a Winged Nazgûl. Though they aren't able to identify it, Legolas succeeds in shooting down its flying steed.
Legolas tells Gimli that his final count is 42 Uruks.
In the films, Bloom wore contacts to make his eyes blue, probably to distinguish him from the Silvan elves of Mirkwood, Legolas, the son of Thranduil, is a Sindarin, often treated as nobility by elves of less distinguished lineage.
Historyedit. Before the Company of the Ring left Lothlórien, Galadriel presented each of them with gifts: "To Legolas she gave a bow such as the Galadhrim used. The bow was longer and stouter than the bows of Mirkwood, and it was strung with a string of elf-hair". The gift was accompanied by a quiver of arrows.
The “Lothlorien” bow, which was presented to Legolas by Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) during the gifting ceremony seen in the extended cut of “The Fellowship of the Ring” was used by Legolas as his weapon of choice in each of the three films in the series.
Legolas never runs out of arrows, and his quiver just fills up at random. At other times, he has no arrows at all but goes through the motion of firing them. Presumably, this is a CGI error that failed to fill in the shot.

Tauriel truly threw a wrench in Legolas' life when he fell in love with her. She was brave, fierce, and a protective leader of the guard. He was meant to be the dutiful son of King Thranduil, but in loving her, he became a stubborn, masterful archer instead. He loved exploration and adventure over his duties.
The Watcher in the Water was a mysterious and horrific beast that lurked in a lake caused by the damming of the Sirannon river, beneath the western walls of Moria. The full shape of the creature is unknown; its visible parts were its tentacles, which were long, sinuous, pale-green, and luminous, with a fingered end.
The Fell beasts, also called hell-hawks and Nazgûl-birds, were the flying creatures on which the Nazgûl rode after being unhorsed at the Ford of Bruinen.
The Watcher in the Water appears in Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). In Jackson's adaptation, the Watcher is portrayed as a colossal, octopus-like monster.
Tolkien doesn't reveal whether Legolas's mother died sometime during the Second or Third Age, or if she traveled to the West, leaving Thranduil and Legolas behind. Legolas does not marry or have any children, based on the appendix of The Lord of the Rings.
