Im not sure if i should put this here or on newbs and newcomers but ill try it here.

Why did the ring have to be destroyed, i mean i know why, but wouldnt they have done somethign much easier, cause we see that Sauron did send the nazgul to get the ring and not orcs or some other creature, couldnt they have just tied a weight onto the ring and droped it inot the ocean? I dont think Sauron had anything that could go to the bottom of the ocean and actuially find the ring.
