Horde Battle

The Horde Battle is an event from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. A lengthy battle occurring at the Sealed Grounds late on in the game, it pits Link against hundreds of Bokoblins, as well as a number of other enemies such as Moblins and Stalfos.

In order to prevent Link from interfering with his ritual designed to revive his master, Demise, at the expense of Zelda's soul, Ghirahim summons as many creatures under his command as he can muster. During the battle, all potential shortcuts are blocked with energy fields; occasionally, Ghirahim creates more such fields, ones that will not go away until Link has defeated all enemies currently engaged in battle with him.

After Link leaves the Horde Battle and subsequent battle against Ghirahim victorious, he may repeat the event as part of Lanayru's Lightning Round.
