Line 8:
This trope is when the protagonist from a prior series or movie has become a legend in the sequel. They can be the protagonist themselves, a side character, long dead, or trapped in a time warp; what matters is that [[In-Universe]] they are now regarded as a legend.
May or may not be [[Shrouded in Myth]]. Compare and Contrast with: [[From Nobody to Nightmare]], [[Took a Level

Line 75:
* Bobbin Threadbare from the [[Adventure Game]] ''[[Loom (video game)|Loom]]'' was apparently supposed to be this in the [[What Could Have Been|planned but not produced sequels]] ''Forge'' and ''The Fold'', and appear in an [[Star Wars|Obi-Wan]]-like fashion and give the new heroes advice.
* In the final mission of ''[[Ace Combat 04 Shattered Skies]]'', ISAF sends nine ace pilots to assist Mobius One. In ''[[Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War]]'' (the Arcade Mode), ISAF sends Mobius One against a virtual airforce ''alone'', because his individual effectiveness is estimated [[One-Man Army|greater than an entire squadron]].
* In every installment of [[The Elder Scrolls]] except for the first, you can find in-game legends about the protagonists of previous games, referred to with [[
** The Eternal Champion (the protagonist of ''Arena'') is indicated as being referred to as Champion in part because people don't actually know ''who'' he (or she) was—among other things, the Champion is referred to as 'forever nameless' in one the biographies about Barenziah. The Agent (the protagonist of ''Daggerfall'') is an exception to the in-game legends thing: the Agent's involvement in the events of ''Daggerfall'' are unknown to the general public. Those few that ''do'' know about the Agent's involvement have reasons for keeping quiet about it and the Agent's identity.
* In the ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' games you start as a random kid from Candlekeep, known only by, for lack of a better term, "family". By the second game, a few people in a nation about 200 miles south of Baldur's Gate have heard of your exploits up north. By the expansion, an entire army is sent out to kill you, an extremely powerful Bhaalspawn with an army of her own starts to panic when you come after her, and freaking Elminster says, "Nope, not fightin' ya."
