The answer being that by definition Legacy games are not resettable.
Which definition?
I don't think I've ever seen a formal definition, but I got the vibe that the main characteristics were actions in one game having lasting effects on subsequent games, and gameplay being gradually affected by long-term plot arcs which weren't known to players in advance and spanned many games.
Having already mentioned T.I.M.E Stories, I'll now mention 1000 Blank White Cards, which I also feel interestingly skirts the perimeter of what constitutes a legacy game. The game itself is spoiler-free, but the players can set up nasty surprises for one another, which can then linger indefinitely from one game to another.
Is it resettable? I'd say yes. Sure, if you want to start over you need some more blank white cards, but nobody says Yahtzee is a legacy game just because you need to buy new scorepads once in a while!
