Ghirahim

Ghirahim is a major antagonist of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. He is a white-haired humanoid being with purple eyes and a long tongue, and wears flamboyant clothing covered in diamond patterns. He is the lord of The Surface during the events of the game. He is actively hunting Zelda, and is able to detect her presence. He possesses knowledge of the Goddess Sword, and the power that it holds. Ghirahim does not care whether or not Link dies, and only wants Zelda.

Battle
In battle, Ghirahim has the ability to jump great distances, move with great speed and warp around the room. He can fight either hand-to-hand, or with a sword. In both fighting styles, Ghirahim has the ability to grab the Goddess Sword mid-swing and hold it in place. Ghirahim is also able to forcibly remove it from Link's hands and use it himself. Additionally, he possesses the power to create a line of diamond-shaped projectiles, which can be blocked with sword attacks or a shield; however, if the entire line of projectiles is not sliced successfully, Ghirahim will retreat to a safe distance and fire the remaining ones at will. He appears to be an extremely strong and agile character, toying with Link during their first encounter.
