My thoughts are that a legendary weapon is something unique, known to be powerful and with a significant history attached to it. It's something with renown.
The Rod of Ivandis is a little odd, because we do make it, but there IS a singular Rod of Ivandis in game, something renowned in legends of the Priestly Warriors, that scholars tried and failed to recreate for centuries. We did not just create something similar out of powerful materials, but we tracked down the original, solved an ancient puzzle, and created an EXACT replica - the power and renown still lies with the original.
