Hard to say...
Bravesword 12 is still available and is a great racket.
In terms of sales numbers, the Arc 10 should be right at the top. Especially with the current successor 11 Pro...
For me it is MP99. But it is just a personal thing. Was one of my first good Yonex racket 
no list is complete without the Cab 20 / Cab 21 - I still remember the marketing blurb on the Cab 21 was something like for those that hit low and hard.. or something like that... I remember thinking back than this was a racket designed to hurt your opponents.. lol
I guess when I see legendary I think what racket has been most impactful for the longest duration.
I would say the BS12 has has the largest impact for the largest time. It's not my personal favorite but has been loved and unmatched for many and is going on 16 years old and stiff the original is selling lots.
ZF2 for sure but I think Duora 10 had a pretty good run too.
From the list, it has to be BS12. I mean, having a whole country's national players using them is a testament on just how good it was.
I was debating between the bravesword 12 and the Armortec 700 (voted for this). Both are iconic rackets, but i chose the AT700 because I remember this racket being used by Lin Dan (over the Li-Ning and the zforce 2 he later used) and more than ever how he gripped his racket.
I remember when so many players gripped their rackets just at the bottom of the handle because of him and he was using the AT700 at the time.

Volume in numbers must be Carbonex 8
However most impactful has to be Carbonex 20. It came out in 1985 and was used in the olympic 2000 mens singles final and world championship 2003 mens singles final. Production went on for even longer. Many players from different countries used it.
Voted for MP99 but if MP100 was on the list, would have voted for that, something about those MP grooves that hold the string to the frame and those Grommets strip / recessed grommets.
BS12 came pretty close to getting the click but something about it still being produced in its variations just don't make it seem legendary to me.

Ahhh I forgot about that one.

Generally people seem to think the mp99 is more legendary than the 100, just based on what I see. so i didnt include it
ZF2 for sure but I think Duora 10 had a pretty good run too.
Decent but I wouldnt call it the most legendary
Voted Yonex AT700. Taufik won gold with it in 2004. Lin Dan won gold with it in 2008 and won gold again in 2012 with the N90 Woods that he specifically requested Lining to be made as close to his original AT700 as possible. Viktor has won two golds with the 100zz and maybe underneath the radar, CYF, ASY and various XD and WD won gold with the humble AX77 in 2020 and 2024.
Yonex Blacken II?
Carbonex 8DX?
It’s between Cab 8 original and Cab 20 original
Cab 8 original revolutionary with all Carbon graphite shaft. Huge numbers sold
Cab 20 for sheer longevity. First came out in 1985, favourite of many players and used in winning world championships in 2003. 18 years….

certainly cant disagree with this.. especially cab 20.
always thought although cab 8 original was first, the 8dx was more popular.. for the longest time. just about everybody had one. (i could be wrong.. lol)
honorable mention - cab 15 and 21.
