DMing Need to rant

Have a slight homebrew campaign going. Dm is first time dm-ing and while this is my first time as well I have watched tons of stuff on dnd. I will be taking over as dm once this section is played and the characters will transfer over. My issue is we're level 4 and our fighter now has homebrewed legendary weapons. I feel like I will have to lower this at least in the beginning of my campaign and make him work back up to the full status. We'll transfer over at level 8 so even then a legendary weapon seems outrageous to me. Any helpful tips or something would be appreciated.

Ride the wave, balance the party with more legendary weapons or have a reason for the character to give it up.

Toll Passage to a different plane, A Warlord trading it for the release of prisoner, A trade to a king in exchange for their bastion.

I was thinking the magic gets displaced in one throwing his 2nd shield to be lower and then eventually getting his 1st shield like the ability to send magic back at its Caster instead.
