Demon Lord Ghirahim is the first boss of ''Skyward Sword''. Link encounters him in Skyview Temple as both search for Zelda. In battle, he prefers to toy with his enemy, initially opting to go weaponless and cunningly blocking attacks. | Demon Lord Ghirahim is the first boss of ''Skyward Sword''.

Once Ghirahim sustains enough damage, a cutscene will show him licking his lips and materializing his sword. From this point on, Ghirahim will fight more seriously. Instead of heedlessly advancing towards you, he will try to keep his distance, often backing away, even jumping back to avoid your attacks. | Once Ghirahim sustains enough damage, a cutscene will show him licking his lips and materializing his sword.

Ghirahim launches most of his attacks from a distance. He will conjure throwing knives arranged in a line and launch them at you. A well-timed sword slash at the correct angle will reflect the knives back at Ghirahim, as will a shield bash. Unfortunately, Ghirahim will block these and sustain no damage. Simply raising your shield or dodging can also protect you from harm. | Ghirahim launches most of his attacks from a distance.

He will also attack by dashing at you and sweeping with his sword, signaled by crouching for a moment with his sword at his side. Note which side he's holding his sword, as this will tell which side of you he'll attack from. If he's holding it to his right, he'll attack you from your left, and vice-versa. This is especially important in parrying and countering this attack. A dodge will only succeed if you side-hop away from the direction of attack, or backflip. Sword slashes must be directed toward him in order to be effective (''i.e.'' if he dashes to your right, swing to the right). A [[Spin Attack]], however, should work from either side if timed well. After his attack misses or is halted is your chance for a counterattack. | He will also attack by dashing at you and sweeping with his sword, signaled by crouching for a moment with his sword at his side.

Blocking is another great option for dealing with Ghirahim's charge attack. Simply blocking with your shield will protect you from damage, though Ghirahim will be ready to dodge any attempted counter-attack. A shield bash will knock him off balance, leaving enough time for several sword hits. | Blocking is another great option for dealing with Ghirahim's charge attack.

Another tactic Ghirahim employs is to teleport directly in front of you, or more frequently directly behind you, with his sword raised, ready for an attack. If you stand there too long, he'll attack you, but if you hastily strike without regard to his sword, he may block your attack and immediately counter it. When he disappears, be prepared to look for the position of his sword, and make sure you attack his unguarded side. | Another tactic Ghirahim employs is to teleport directly in front of you, or more frequently directly behind you, with his sword raised, ready for an attack.
