Djinn
and Tonic
Zant was ridiculously menacing in his first several appearances in the game. It was not until fairly late in the game before you really got a good look into his character and the threat level went down while you got to see what an odd wacky character he really is. The being silent and emotionless while bringing long dead things back to life just to kill you, or appearing only to curse Midna and blow up a light spirit is pretty threatening.
Ghirahim on the other hand rarely seemed all that threatening. He was actually pretty friendly and polite towards Link most of the time. He only attacked you out of frustration then ignored Link most of the time. But being extra wordy and erratic with relatively polite behavior just lifts the tone of the whole situation by miles. He never actually seemed like he cared enough to bother killing Link at all until the final battle with him.
They sort of had opposite buildups as their games progressed. Zant started out as some dangerous looming threat but then evolved into some wacky over the top joke villain. While Ghirahim seemed more like a near comical annoyance that slowly built into a real threat that had to be dealt with.
