Ghirahim is a flashy, sharp and confident antagonist whose sole focus is to capture [[Zelda (Skyward Sword)|Zelda]] in order to revive 'his master'. Ghirahim seems to be very self-absorbed as he states to [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] "my preferred title is Lord Ghirahim." | Ghirahim is a flashy, sharp and confident antagonist whose sole focus is to capture [[Zelda (Skyward Sword)|Zelda]] in order to revive 'his master'. Ghirahim seems to be very self-absorbed as he states to [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] "my preferred title is Lord Ghirahim." His behaviors are usually very exaggerated and dramatic as he often moves his hands in a very theatrical manner. Upon first encountering Link, he is very polite and formal, claiming to be uncivil as he had not properly introduced himself. | ||
Ghirahim is very quick to anger, however, and is a fierce opponent. Ghirahim loses composure and quickly becomes psychotic as things do not go in his favor. He reveals himself to be a very cruel and ruthless demon with a thirst for blood and battle as he threatens Link with death several times throughout the quest. | Ghirahim is very quick to anger, however, and is a fierce opponent.

Throughout the game, Ghirahim makes many attempts to revive the Demon King by sacrificing Zelda. His first attempt occurs when Link and Zelda are riding on their [[Loftwing]]s. Ghirahim summons a tornado and knocks Zelda off her bird into the [[Sealed Grounds]] below, but he fails to capture her. | Throughout the game, Ghirahim makes many attempts to revive the Demon King by sacrificing Zelda.

Ghirahim appears again for a brief moment when Link enters the Skyview Temple. He nearly reaches Zelda at the end of the temple, but he is stopped by Link. The boss fight with Demon Lord Ghirahim proceeds and he states to have not used his full power, but instead, was merely toying with the young hero. | Ghirahim appears again for a brief moment when Link enters the Skyview Temple.

In the proceeding dungeon, the [[Earth Temple (Skyward Sword)|Earth Temple]], Ghirahim appears once again in the boss arena, but he will not be fought this time. Instead, he summons the boss of that temple, Scaldera. | In the proceeding dungeon, the [[Earth Temple (Skyward Sword)|Earth Temple]], Ghirahim appears once again in the boss arena, but he will not be fought this time.

{{image|file=0333.jpg|align=right|type=caption|caption=Ghirahim blocking an attack|size=300px}} Ghirahim slowly advances towards Link as the fight begins. If the [[Goddess Sword|sword]] is not drawn, Ghirahim will slap Link for one [[Heart Container|heart]] of damage. This can be blocked with a Shield Bash, but it is better to have the sword drawn before Ghirahim gets close enough. | {{image|file=0333.jpg|align=right|type=caption|caption=Ghirahim blocking an attack|size=300px}} Ghirahim slowly advances towards Link as the fight begins.

Ghirahim will holds his fingers up with a purple aura, and will try to catch the sword between his fingers as it is swung. If Link does not quickly pull the sword free, Ghirahim takes it away and will use it against Link. To get the sword back, block one of his strikes with a shield bash and it will fly out of Ghirahim's hands so that Link can retrieve it. Ghirahim may also throw the sword at Link after a few strikes. Dodge it, and then run over to it and pick it up before he does. | Ghirahim will holds his fingers up with a purple aura, and will try to catch the sword between his fingers as it is swung.

The key to harming him is to quickly turn where the sword is and slash at him. Hold the sword on the right and Ghirahim will block in that direction. Then quickly deliver a sword slash from left to right using your Wiimote and Link will hit him almost every time. If Ghirahim does catch the sword, quickly waggle your Wiimote to break free. Continue hitting in this fashion until he changes up his attacks. | The key to harming him is to quickly turn where the sword is and slash at him.

To defeat Ghirahim for good, you have to break his sword and stab at his chest again. Slashing at Ghirahim forces him to block your attacks with his sword, but the Master Sword damages Ghirahim's blade. You have a limited time to hack away at his sword and break it completely, before Ghirahim retreats. Throughout the battle, Ghirahim constantly repairs his sword and switches his defensive stance when you have hit the blade three times, which may cause you to stagger. Be careful when you get knocked back, as Ghirahim immediately attempts to attack. The easiest way to defeat this form is to take about a second pause between each swing at his blade, he holds it up for a while. | To defeat Ghirahim for good, you have to break his sword and stab at his chest again.
