Story

Spoiler Alert! This section describes a subject that is sensitive to plot development.

Volga, working with Wizzro, commands the monsters that Cia had sent out to attack Hyrule Castle. He eventually confronts Link (at the time a knight in training) while fighting Impa. However, after Link shields Impa from Volga's fiery blast, Volga discovers that Link possesses the Triforce of Courage, and is forced to retreat.

He later appears at the Valley of Seers where he ambushes Impa as she is approaching the Western Fortress. However, he is driven off by Lana, although not before vowing to return for a rematch.

After Cia opens the Gates of Souls, Volga travels to the era of Skyward Sword, where he forges an alliance with the Demon Lord, Ghirahim. Although Volga's arrogance is such that even Ghirahim had disgust with it. After Ghirahim is forced to retreat - after both Fi, Link, and Levias grant access to Volga/Ghirahim's territory - Link fights Volga as he is preparing to advance onto Skyloft. Although the battle is even, Volga eventually powers up to significantly overpower Link and Fi. This forces the duo to retreat to the Great Fairy's Fountain to grant Levias enough food to summon a lightning storm to weaken Volga. Afterwards, they manage to drive him off.

He later appears at the Valley of Seers where Cia uses her powers to power Volga up to become nearly unstoppable. After just barely being beaten near the Great Fairy's Fountain, he retreats and powers up more. However, Zelda manages to appeal to Volga's warrior pride to cast off Cia's influence and fight Link with his own abilities to prove his own skills as a warrior. After this, Volga is quickly killed by Link, although he remarks that he does not have any regrets with death; with Cia expressing her irritation at Volga's last moments.

Design

"We wanted players to be able to look at him and think, 'That's Volvagia!' so we tried to keep his design as similar as possible. He's created to be the human form of a dragon, so we tried to keep from looking too human, and gave him a helmet to hide his eyes and make him mysterious"
