heritage 范围广,不特指某个具体的人,legacy is specific,侧重于个人财产;
the heritage of New England, someone's legacy
heritage侧重于接受的人, legacy侧重于传给你的人
A legacy is what someone leaves behind them for others (after they've gone).

Legacy has two meanings, it is something that is handed down from our ancestors and is a synonym for heritage.Another meaning,people would use the term legacy to refer to older control systems that still work, but are not up to date.
Heritage refers to culture and traditions handed down from generation to generation. Your Chinese language is a cultural heritage dating back 5000 years. English is barely 500 years old.
