Choose Your Legends is the name of a popularity polling event associated with Fire Emblem Heroes. The first Choose Your Legends poll was run in 2017 with a second running currently announced for 2018.
Overview
In the weeks prior to Fire Emblem Heroes's release, specifically Wednesday, January 18th to Tuesday, 31st January 2017, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems held a voting campaign known as Choose Your Legends. Visitors to the campaign's site were allowed to vote for their favourite characters, with the two highest-polling characters of each gender being selected to receive special playable versions of themselves wearing unique outfits. The development of these special outfits was shared through official Nintendo channels. The top ten ranked characters of each gender also featured in a series of 2017 calendar images, which were be released each month throughout 2017.
The candidates for voting included every playable character in the entire series, as well as significant bosses and non-player characters. Characters who appear in multiple games were also counted separately. Visitors could submit one vote per day, and voting with a My Nintendo account also awarded them 200 platinum points for the My Nintendo service.
Near the first anniversary of Fire Emblem Heroes, on January 19, a second Choose Your Legends event was announced. Fire Emblem Gaiden characters have their images updated to their Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia appearances and all characters original to Heroes have been added to the voting pool, while the four winners of the original Choose Your Legends event have been entirely removed (including the Radiant Dawn version of Ike, even though it was the Path of Radiance version which won).

2017 Overall results
The overall results were revealed on February 9th, 2017.[2] The highest rankings remained largely unchanged from the midterm results, with Ike and Roy topping the male poll, and Lyn and Lucina topping the female poll. As a show of gratitude for the large number of votes cast, it was announced that in addition to the poll winners, as was originally announced, the second-place male and female characters would also receive special costumes, while the top ten characters of each gender would receive special calendar images.
A later interview with staff from Intelligent Systems revealed that they were highly surprised by Lyn's performance in the poll; they fully expected Lucina to win. They also stated that they were surprised by the overall high performance of characters from the GBA games. Due to the, to them, surprising results, development of the Choose Your Legend character variants took longer than anticipated.[3]
The Choose Your Legend's version of Lucina's lance, Geirskögul, has runes inscribed on it, that, when translated using the cipher provided in The Art of Fire Emblem Awakening, state "animeprojectsuccess". This is possibly teasing an anime series relating to the Fire Emblem series occurring in the future, though there have yet to be any official announcements aside from this teaser.

One other thing we noticed is that characters from the Game Boy Advance era tended to be popular, and that was a little unexpected. Also, because the final results were a little unexpected, it also meant that development for the Choose Your Legends characters took a bit more time than expected." — An Interview with the Directors of 'Fire Emblem Heroes': On Events, Design Challenges, and the Possibility of 'Advance Wars' on Mobile, toucharcade.com, Published: September 4th 2017, Retrieved: December 24th 2017
