Legend is a demonstration album by the music production group Two Steps from Hell, originally released exclusively to clients in the motion picture and advertising industry for the purpose of licensing in May 2008. It consists of three discs: two CDs and a bonus DVD. The former contain a total of 37 principal tracks; 20 on disc one and 17 on disc two. The latter includes a large collection of alternative versions; therefore, in total, Legend consists of 77 tracks. They are predominantly composed by the group's founding members, Thomas J. Bergersen and Nick Phoenix, as well as some by Troels Folmann. The album was recorded by Capellen Orchestra in Prague, Czech Republic and at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, United States. The cover artwork and the sleeve are designed by Steven R. Gilmore.

Some of the group's most successful tracks originate from this release, like "Heart of Courage", "Protectors of the Earth", and "Freedom Fighters"; a handful of such tracks were made available to the general public on subsequent commercial albums, starting with Invincible (2010). In 2019, the album was finally released to the public, albeit modified to consist of only the tracks which had still not yet been made commercially available and under the title of Legend Anthology.
