Some rather cute and unique entries out of this prompt! A mix of Disney, some classic fairy tales and your own interpretations of what makes a pony a legend. Excellent job everyone! I'm glad to see the creative juices are still flowing strong.
Today we managed to bag another 84 ponies bringing us up to 3599 ponies altogether. Let's keep the ball rolling!
Now for today, something a little more devious. Ponies aren't all sunshine and rainbows, right? To practice pulling out the more nefarious parts of our ponies today I would like you all to Draw a pony pulling the wool over someone's eyes / Draw a pony deceiving another.
As usual our submitter can be found here.
New Makeup Day submitter is here.
Good luck everyone!

5 Spirit Life cast “Eternal Ice� - Horceye
A spell that Spirit Life developed since she was a filly. She can create ice that can’t break nor melt. It’s a spell that nopony can replicate. Spirit Life surely goes as a legend in history for Ice Magic.

15 Little Red Riding Hood - Pone-Dancer
Everyone knows Little Red Riding Hood. Wolf eats the grandma and Red Riding Hood, the woodcutter slices the wolf open and out they pop, yada yada.
But I bet most of you didn't know that as soon as Red Riding Hood hit 12 or 13, the Woodcutter married her. Kinda creepy, and I doubt he was young when this happened.

17 The Little Mermaid - Pone-Dancer
The most misunderstood fairy tale besides Beauty and the Beast is The Little Mermaid.
For starters, she didn't have red hair. Secondly, King Triton wasn't her father. It never mentions a father, only her mother. And lastly, she dies. Yes, she turns into sea foam and dies (thankfully it was painless). Her prince marries someone else immediately to top it off.
And someone thought 'hey let's make this a movie'.

Decided to go with the fairy tale theme, and then I just had to put Cadance in a crystal tower.

45 ATG 25 - The One That Started It All - PixelGrip94
Can't get more legendary than Fausticorn, the one who started this crazy fandom. Still forever grateful to Lauren Faust for introducing this show into my life.
I'd also like to point out that I used the a lot of Lauren Magpie's pony paintings (seen here: https://derpibooru.org/tags/artist-colon-laurenmagpie) for reference on the pose.

49 Fairy Tail - Lou
A Ponified Version Of a Disney-Fied Version of a Fairtale. (Also my favorite 3D Disney Movie) Her face still really bothers me, but oh well.

50 ED: ATG-Day 25-Keldeo - Addelum
Keldeo, the colt Pokémon. It crosses the world, running over the surfaces of oceans and rivers. It appears at scenic waterfronts.

52 Bearskin - Allonsbro
Yeah! This one satisfies both halves of the prompt.
I chose to ponify a German legend from the brothers Grimm called "Bearskin," the story of a destitute soldier who makes a bet with the devil. You can read the story here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearskin_(German_fairy_tale)#Synopsis
I got inspired by this lovely piece. fav.me/d6qmvn8

54 Hoodie Arrow's Archery Practice - Starlight Flux
As my local brony meetup group (Trottinghamshire Bronies) is based in Nottingham (UK), our mascot is a female ponified version of Robin Hood called Hoodie Arrow. So for today's prompt I thought I would draw her doing some archery practice.

56 Once Upon a Time - Frith
Once upon a time in the magical land of Equestria... Fairy tale ponies were requested for this exercise, so I drew the 'welcome to Pepperland' pair from the very beginning. Nothing like trying to draw mirror images to highlight all your mistakes! Eh, what?

Starswirl the Bearded is my legendary pony of choice! As always, my entries for ATG 2018 are arranged in a single continuous storyline, so if some things don't make sense, you can read the previous pages of the comic for context.

69 Little Red Hood - Binky T.
Once upon a time, there was a little filly with an adorable red cape, and GREAT FLAMING EYEBROWS… who was beloved by all. And so the people affectionately named her Little Red Hood.

Pushing the prompt a bit, but thinking of a legendary pony, I thought of Ramza from Final Fantasy Tactics.
