Legend of the Wu-Tang is a compilation album by the Wu-Tang Clan, released in 2004.

The album was made to further cement Wu Tang Clan's legacy as one of the most influential groups in recent years.[1] The album was also made to not only help introduce new listeners to the group's music but to also satisfy fans of the group as well.[2] Twenty six versions of this album were released worldwide which includes CD's, vinyls, and cassettes[3]
