He has very strange-looking ears as well so I don't see the issue.

Also, take that, people who were whining about artists drawing manga-style LotR fanart after the Peter Jackson movies.

Anyway, does Legolas' ability to see very far necessarily mean his pupils must be humongous? The pupils on eagles aren't exactly very large either but as a cursory internet search tells me their internal structure is very different from human eyes. Anyone able to speculate on elvish eye anatomy?

I don't know enough about eyeballs to be able to answer, but 5 leagues is a bit more than 5x farther than eagles can see, and eagles already have larger pupils than humans do.
