If Legolas is much older and much longer lived, forever youthful, do these characteristics make him a better warrior than Aragorn who is mortal?

Aragorn was probably not the archer Legolas was; Legolas was probably not the swordsman Aragorn was. He didn’t even wear a sword, only a long knife. Aragorn is a bigger stronger guy than Legolas. Legolas has sharper eyes and better hands.

There’s a point beyond which training only keeps you sharp but can’t increase your capabilities any more because you’ve already maxed out your physical capacity. I think as of the time of the story they had both reached that point.
