-->-- ''WebAnimation/DorklyOriginals'', "The Legend of Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda"

A common naming convention for works is "The Legend of X". Generally speaking, legends are epic stories repeated from generation to generation. Putting "legend" in a work's title gives the audience a [[WorkInfoTitle clue for what to expect from the story]].

Works that follow the title convention "The Legend of (Character Name)" often follow a character who becomes a legend through the events portrayed. Alternatively, the work could be about how the titular legend impacts the main characters. The X can also be a group of characters, a significant place, or even a MacGuffin. Whatever X is, you can usually expect it (or its legacy) to play an important role in the story.
