Appearance
The Cap of Legend is modelled after Cap'n Cuttlefish's signature peaked cap, with the main difference being that it changes color to match that of the wearer's Ink. It is made of somewhat worn dark fabric with a lighter patch sewn onto the top and a dark-colored visor, which, along with the band, is lined with a dull gold. The insignia is the Cuttlegear logo in the same dull gold on a dark blue circular shape. In Splatoon, when worn by a male Inkling, the cap has a hole torn in the back, allowing the tentacle topknot to be visible. It also appears to change its color on its thumbnail based on if the user has filled all 3 slots.
Splatoon
Abilities
The Legendary Cap comes with Damage Up as the primary ability. As a 3-star item, the Legendary Cap comes with three additional slots for secondary abilities. Since it is made by the Cuttlegear brand, it has equal chances to roll any secondary ability.
Splatoon 2
Abilities
The Cap of Legend comes with a random primary ability that can also appear as secondary abilities, which prevents the wearer from having Comeback, Last-Ditch Effort, Opening Gambit, or Tenacity as they are exclusive to Headgear and cannot appear as secondary abilities.

Trivia
- The Zapfish dolls wear the Legendary Cap, whereas their real counterparts don't.
- The Cap of Legend is the first piece of gear from Splatoon to be made by a different brand in Splatoon 2, as well as have a different name.
- This might be a result of the Cap of Legend being a forgery, as it shares this trait across all languages.
