Ghirahim is quite a bit different from previous villians in the Zelda series. He had a different motivation, and acted differently. This is a good thing to me, as i've never really been that fond of Zelda's previous villians. Ganondorf looks cool, has interesting powers, and I like him, but his personality is boring, and he's not much of a character. He is for the most part, a steryotypical villian, whos only motivation is power, and will do anything to get it. He has little personality, and is pretty much evil for the sake of being evil. While some might argue that this is how a villian should be, I think a villian should have more personality, and a good motivator. Ganondorf was handled much better in Wind Waker, but for the most part he has been flat.
Ghirahim, however, is quite the opposite. He is an interesting villian who simply oozes personality. He does all of this while still staying true to what he was supposed to be, a villian. Not only that, but he does it well, and is an intimidating foe, who is still quite evil.
Ghirahim has tons of personality and character development. At the beginning of the game, he is calm and cool. He thinks Link is weak, and has no chance of beating him. He highly underestimates Link, and lets him live after the battle. As the game goes on, however, he begins to realize that Link is a threat, and becomes serious. By the time Link beats the third dungeon, Ghirahim gets angry, and vows to kill Link. Ghirahim slowly changes from being calm and collected, to being angry, and increasingly becomes more and more frustrated. He gets to a breaking point in the final battle with him, in which he gets furious, and even a little insane. Ghirahim shows tons of character development throughout the whole game.
Ghirahim has far more personality than any past villian. He gets angry, he laughs, he can be cocky and arrogant, and even acts sarcastic sometimes. During the first and second encounter, he mocks and laughs at Link, not acknowleging him as a threat. He also seems prone to emotional outbursts, and can't control his anger. He hates to lose, and gets very angry when he does, such as when he vows to kill Link after he ruins his chances to reach Zelda.
What I also like about Ghirahim is his relationship with Link. It's obvious both hate each other. Link obviously hates Ghirahim, and Ghirahim starts to really hate Link. I always like it when the hero and villian have history or animosity towards each other, as it helps to make things more interesting, and makes it feel more personal.
What do you think of Ghirahim? How do you think he stacks up when compared to the other villians of the series? Do you like the aproach that was taken with Ghirahim, and would you like to see him, or another villian like him again?
I believe these traits make him a much more interesting villian, and overall better villian. He
