| ~ Ghirahim taunting Link. |
Demon Lord Ghirahim is the main antagonist of the 2011 action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
He is an extremely powerful and flamboyant being born from the Demon King Demise's sword and the evil counterpart to the Goddess Sword's spirit, Fi. He aims to capture Zelda, the Goddess Hylia reincarnated, and use her to free Demise from his current imprisonment.
He was voiced by Anri Katsu.
His Qualities[]
What Makes Him Entertaining?[]
- He is quite a flamboyant and hammy antagonist whose effeminate mannerisms and flowery dialogue can be quite amusing despite his bloodthirsty nature.
- He has a great array of powers which can make him quite a threat.
- He is remarkably intelligent and calculating, always staying one step ahead of Link throughout the game and coming up with contingency plans to ensure the Demon King's return.
- He is a great fighter as he managed to put up a great fight with Link three times, despite losing either way.
- Even when defeated, he succeeded in reviving Demise by feeding Zelda's soul to the Imprisoned, and laughs in triumph as he was turned back into his sword form by his master.
What Makes Him Detestable?[]
- He is an extremely sadistic, creepy and perfectly defined Smug Snake who made many death threats to Link that he would give the boy a very gruesome fate, while prone to unrecoverable breakdowns whenever things don't go his way. Aside from that, he makes creepy and perverted moves towards Link, such as sticking his tongue out and scares him.
- He threatened to his minions that he would kill them if they don't comply, despite the fact that Link can just take them out easily.
- He sought to free Demise with the goal of destroying all life on the planet with his power and monstrosity, which brings dire ramifications throughout the series.
