[[File:Legendary.jpg|thumb|The original Legendary difficulty icon.]]
In the original ''Halo'' trilogy, legendary difficulty is symbolized by an [[Sangheili|Elite]] skull with a bullet pierced on the cranium, two crossed [[Combat knife|combat knives]] and a shield bearing the ''[[Marathon]]'' symbol, though the symbol is not visible behind the skull. In ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', the symbol is adjusted to a [[human]] skull with two crossed [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|Suppressed SMGs]] in front of the same shield with the ''Marathon'' symbol, now slightly visible behind the skull. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'', the original legendary symbol returns, but these games, along with future titles, lack the ''Marathon'' symbol on the shield. In ''[[Halo 4]]'', the shield and the combat knives have been redesigned while the skull of a [[Promethean Knight]] replaces the previous skulls.

Legendary is regarded as a significant challenge, even for veteran players. Overwhelming enemy firepower, superior enemy numbers, and increased enemy intelligence make up most of the challenge, but several specific changes, varying throughout games, also add to the difficulty. Most allies are practically useless aside from creating distractions. The player must play cautiously and conservatively to succeed, but even with appropriate tactics and practice, the player will die very often and may require some luck to succeed. The increased difficulty does not come without rewards; many details, such as pieces of dialogue, cutscenes, and music, can only be heard or seen on Legendary; in particular, most Halo games feature an additional scene in the ending cutscenes, which is only shown on Legendary, often referred to as "Legendary Endings". ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', ''Halo 3'', ''Halo 3: ODST'', ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo 4'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians'' feature such endings. Several [[achievement]]s, [[challenge]]s, [[commendations]], and [[Halo Waypoint#Awards|career awards]] reward players for accomplishing various tasks on Legendary difficulty in addition to the achievements for simply completing every mission on Legendary.

In the first ''Halo'' game, the differences between Legendary and other settings is relatively numeric. The player does not face unique or different enemies yet they face many more enemies who are tougher to defeat and endure. Many of the same strategies that work on other settings work on Legendary in this game except that the player has to be extremely careful of his/her own weaknesses. This is where the [[Noob combo]] comes in handy, with use of the [[Type-25 plasma pistol|Plasma Pistol]] and [[M6D magnum|M6D Magnum]].
