Ghirahim will slowly advance towards you as the fight begins.  If your [[Goddess Sword|sword]] isn't drawn, Ghirahim will slap you for one [[Heart Container|heart]] of damage. This can be blocked with a Shield Bash, causing Link to automatically draw his sword, but it's best to have your sword drawn before Ghirahim gets close enough.

With the sword out, Ghirahim will hold his hand out in front of him with a purple aura and try to catch your sword between his fingers as you swing it.  If you don't quickly pull the sword free, Ghirahim will take it away and use it against you. To get the sword back, block one of his strikes with a shield bash and it will fly out of Ghirahim's hands so you can retrieve it. Ghirahim may also throw the sword at you after a few strikes, or if you're too far away, signaled by raising it above his head.  Dodge it, then run over to it to pick it up before he does.  You can block it with your shield or a shield bash, but then it will be deflected toward Ghirahim and he will likely get to it first.

A good strategy is to point your sword in one direction so that Ghirahim moves his hand there and then to strike from the opposite direction. Ghirahim will be vulnerable for a few seconds after your first strike lands.
