Legend Mode

Legend Mode is a game mode that consists of the story in.

Features and Overview
Legend Mode is separated into stage chapters called Scenarios, in which an Allied Force must fight an Enemy Force (or more), and successfully complete several mission objectives to win and to advance to the next stage. Some stages are revisited in Legend Mode, and thus have multiple Scenario chapters to be completed. Scenarios limit which character can be played in the stage, with some Scenarios limiting to only one character or a selected few. Scenarios may recommend certain characters over others, as well as recommend certain elements of weapon types.

Unlike the Adventure Mode map stages, Legend Mode stages can have their difficulty settings adjusted; initially ranging between Easy, Normal and Hard. After completing all of the original Scenarios, the Hero Mode difficulty also becomes available.

There are eighteen Scenario stages in the original Legend Mode line-up. New Scenarios may also be added through purchasing DLC packs.

Unlockables
In addition to Adventure Mode, completing Legend Mode stages is also one of the few ways of unlocking extra content within the game. New characters and weapons may be unlocked through completion of stages, and clearing stages in Legend Mode will allow them to be playable in Free Mode. In addition, character-specific Heart Containers, Pieces of Heart and Gold Skulltulas may be found within the stages and collected, the latter of which will reward with an Illustration piece which completing will unlock additional rewards. Clearing the first Scenario in Legend Mode will also unlock the game's other modes and allow them to be selected.

Beating all eighteen of the original Scenario stages will unlock Hero Mode difficulty, as well as another set of Gold Skulltullas that can only be found by playing in Hard or Hero Mode difficulties and fulfilling specific requirements.
