| | Leader of the [[Demon Tribe]] and the main antagonist for most of the story, Demon Lord Ghirahim is a tall and slender man with grayish skin and albino hair. He is skilled in the ways of magic, his sorcerous powers allowing him to teleport, conjure knives, and summon a distinct black sabre with which he is incredibly skilled. It is he who plucked [[Zelda]] from [[The Sky|the sky]] with the tornado. Ghirahim's regard for himself is incredibly high - he prefers to be referred to by his full title, Lord Ghirahim, and he constantly mocks Link's ability in combat. His arrogance is second only to his depravity; Ghirahim enjoys bloodshed and death. He suffers from extreme mood swings and is often cheerful and polite one moment, furious and hateful the next. |

| Ghirahim is a member of a [[Demon Tribe]] that attempted to take over the Surface, but they were stopped by the Goddess, [[Hylia]]. What happened to him between then and the events of ''Skyward Sword'' are unknown. | | Ghirahim seeks Zelda's holy power in order to revive [[Demise]], his master. To that end, he is encountered throughout the game as he pursues Zelda, and Link will battle him several times as well as face his minions before his adventure is done. All the forces of evil on the surface move at Ghirahim's command, and they seek Zelda. Ultimately, he succeeds in reviving his master in the past, and is revealed to be [[Fi]]'s counterpart as the reborn Demise returns him to the sword form from which he came. |
| | |
| 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.

| 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.
| |
| | |
| 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.

| Later in [[Lanayru Desert]], Ghirahim appears once more. On this occasion, he is seen after Link has navigated his way through the treacherous [[Lanayru Mining Facility]], where he finds himself in the [[Temple of Time]]. The Demon Lord destroys the boulders blocking the way and attempts to yet again kidnap Zelda. [[Impa]], the servant of the Goddess, blocks Ghirahim's attack with a large blue force field, giving Zelda time to go through the [[Gate of Time]]. Link then distracts Ghirahim long enough to allow Impa through the Gate of Time before she destroys it. Ghirahim, in frustration of losing Zelda again, promises in a fit of rage to kill Link, and Ghirahim teleports away.

| Ghirahim makes a brief appearance at the end of the [[Ancient Cistern]], where he summons another boss. He awakens a Shiva-like statue as the boss of the Ancient Cistern, Koloktos.
| |
| | |
| Later on in the game, the Demon Lord makes an appearance in the penultimate dungeon, the Fire Sanctuary, for a fight similar to that of the Skyview Temple. He is much more powerful in this fight because his projectiles are much harder to dodge, and he is now protected by a metallic like armor. Ghirahim seems to be losing his calm persona in this appearance as he freaks out about losing Zelda yet again. It is now known that Ghirahim is searching for a Gate of Time since the one in the Temple of Time was destroyed.
| |
| | |
| Ghirahim makes his final stand by arriving at the Sealed Grounds where [[Demise]] was just destroyed. He ambushes Link and captures the newly awakened Zelda. He escapes to the past to try to revive Demise since he was destroyed in the present. Ghirahim summons a horde of enemies to keep Link from approaching Zelda and himself. Link eventually fights through the horde, but Ghirahim has already begun Zelda's sacrifice, and Ghirahim reveals his true form. His entire body is almost entirely hard metal except for a gemstone in his chest. Link manages to defeat Ghirahim, but Demise had already awakened at this point. Ghirahim reveals himself to actually be Demise's equivalent to Link's [[Fi]]. Ghirahim is, in fact, Demise's sword. Demise transforms Ghirahim into his true sword form while Ghirahim laughs hysterically. It can be assumed that Ghirahim has completely lost his normally calm attitude and gone completely insane by then.
