I know that a lot of Skyward Sword fans love Ghirahim. How could you not? He's fabulous. xD But am I the only one who's really interested in the way he behaves and how he acts? Like... It's hard to explain because I have an incredible headache, but I'll get through it. I think I've come up with a theory.

First, let's start off with Ghirahim's relationship with Demise. Obviously, Ghirahim's main desire in the game is to revive his master. Am I the only one who thinks that desire only reaches to a certain extent? Being that I'm one of the ones who thinks Demise seriously abuses the crap out of Ghirahim, I think his wish only covers half of his heart. On the other half, I think Ghirahim is afraid. Before he was sealed away by Hylia, Demise probably threatened Ghirahim to have him destroyed or something if he didn't revive him. And, being Ghirahim, I would seriously be worried. I think Demise has the full capability to revive himself (just look at the Imprisoned), but it's just that it would take a bit longer than if his faithful servant were to do it. I think Ghirahim agreed half because he was scared to death of a fate worse than death itself, and half only true loyalty to Demise.

Next, the way he looks, how he talks, and things like that. Yes, I agree that Ghirahim is possibly the most flamboyant character I have ever seen in a video game. I love it, though, because I like coming up with theories to explain it. Has anyone ever wondered why he dresses like this? I don't want to hear "because hes gay" either, because I'm actually getting somewhat tired of hearing that. I think the reason he wears the makeup is to hide possible bruises on his face. Why is the black diamond on the side covered by his hair? Painted over a bruise. Why does he have such a solid color of eye shadow? Black eye, my dear. I know it sounds weird to have a bruise for that long of a time, but think about it. He's a demon, and apparently immortal. Maybe wounds take longer to heal because he lives longer? Maybe.

Now, personally my favorite part of this theory, why Ghirahim acts... like he does towards Link. I don't mean the tongue thing (because I really don't know how to explain that xD), but why he lets him go the first two times you fight him, and why he seems so intent on getting something out of Link. Now, I am somewhat of a GhiraLink shipper (crack pairings ftw), but I'm not gonna say "becauz he luuuves him" as a reason. I think.. Ghirahim is secretly hoping. I think he's hoping for Link to notice something's wrong with him. Going back on the "Demise abuses Ghirahim" theory, I think Ghirahim is secretly hoping that Link would notice how much he talks about his master, the way he speaks so fondly of his loving master, and maybe try to help him. He couldn't let Link get too suspicious though (Demise: I WILL KEEL U), so he only keeps it subtle. Apparently too subtle. Adding on to this, I think Ghirahim's clothing is a clear message of "help plz" to Link. Y'know how earlier I was talking about how he wears the makeup to hide the bruises. Well. He probably dresses like that in front of Link to show the bruises. He wants him to notice and wonder what's wrong. He wants help.

Unfortunately though, Ghirahim's efforts went to waste, as Demise was fully resurrected without Link saying a single word. Ghirahim probably felt both incredibly relieved (that he wouldn't get killed) and incredibly angry (at Link for not helping, and the fact that he would probably get abused again by Demise), which is why the last time you fight him, he really tries to kill you. (Ghirahim: FUCK YOU LINK YOU DIDN'T HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEMS DIE!!1!11!!! Okay, jk. xD)

For people that might ask why I think Demise abuses Ghirahim, really look at the ending. Have you seen how Demise acts towards the poor demon? When he was first resurrected, for example. Ghirahim welcomes his master back heartily, obviously expecting an answer in return. Hell, Demise didn't even have to speak. A nod of the head or something. But Demise doesn't even say a word. Instead he forces Ghirahim to the ground (or should I say the air) and changes him into a sword. No "Hello my faithful servant, it's good seeing you again."? That's effed up.

Also, there's the very last bit of the battle with Demise. When Link defeats him, yeah, he mutters some junk about "holy shiz thiz is impawsibeel" and "how culd u defet meh I am teh great Demon King", right? Yeah, then he just sticks Ghirahim in the ground like a worthless piece of trash, and he disintegrates (Now whether Ghirahim is dead or not is up to the player, I personally think he's not dead and finally escaped Demise). HE STICKS HIM IN THE GROUND. LIKE A PIECE OF TRASH. HE PRACTICALLY THREW HIM AWAY. Sorry for using caps, I just get upset because Ghirahim is definitly not worthless, plus he's an amazing character.

Well, that's the last bit of my theory! I'll be sure to add on to it if I come up with anymore. Remember this is just a theory, and you don't have to listen if you don't like it. Anyone else have their own Ghirahim theories? (:

After playing Skyward Sword and a bit of Twilight Princess, an idea clicked in my mind. I thought perhaps it was possible that Ghirahim was Midna's ancestor, and here's why:


In the end of SS, Ghirahim faded away in the colors purple and black. In the Twilight Realm, if you gaze at the sky, you'll find the same colors. Also, you Ghirahim is an expert in the art of magic, and the Twili weild magic to keep their islands up and other technology etc. If you'll notice, Ghirahim uses a black red ball of energy when which he uses to catch your sword, and Midna uses practically the same thing when she cuts the chain from your leg in the dungeon (except hers is pink). Furthermore, the Twilight Realm is the parallel dimension of Hyrule (Twilight Princess wise) and is a dark realm, like the Demon Realm in SS. However, in Majora's Mask, Termina is the alternate dimension of Hyrule. Perhaps the Demon Realm somehow managed to transform into Termina, or already was when the demons had some form of government. After all, once good was brought to the Surface the monsters retreated back into the Demon Realm, and if Ghirahim went back to govern them when he dissapeared in the final battle, so the Demon Realm became Termina. Or maybe when the Interlopers were banished they could have gone to Termina. From there Termina was influenced by the dark magic - if not already since they don't worship the Triforce - and became the Twilight Realm. This would explain the appearance of Majora's Mask on the back of the Fused Shadow, and the demonic form of Majora since Ghirahim is a Demon Lord.~

Furthermore, look at Demise and compare him to the Twili folk. They look very similar, if you think about it. Red eyes, orange hair, black skin, and white marks (the 'X' on Demises forehead) you get the picture. In his Sword Spirit Form, Ghirahim could relate to this, too (black skin white marks). Also, in Twilight Princess Midna mentioned a 'King that lost to greed of attempting to rule Hyrule', which apparently is Demise. And 'those who were banished' . . . when Ghirahim faded away perhaps he took control over the Demon Realm. Later on as it evolved, it possibly turned into the Twilight Realm. As for the Interpolars, perhaps they were parts of Demises hatred or Ghirahim's servants of some sort (Remember they did weild incredible dark magic) that tried to claim the Triforce so they could set the Demon Realm free. The Fused Shadows and the Interpolars could be parts of Demises' hate, because in the end of SS he mentioned his hate would be re-born in a cycle with no end.~

Also, as one of you mentioned, Midna and Ghirahim warp almost the same way, only one warps through diamonds and the other through black shards. Yet, this is another hint because not only do they weild magic but they warp, too. Also, as yet another one of you told me, there is a higher chance Demise could be closer related to Midna than Ghirahim. However, Midna would still be connected to Ghirahim in some way if that were true because Ghirahim is the servant of Demise and Lord of the Demon Realm. Next, notice what happens after you defeat The Imprisoned? Black shards float in the air and then suddenly rearrange themselves back into the seal. If that felt familar, good, because in Twilight Princess after defeating the first three bosses of the game that's exactly how the Fused Shadows are formed.~



This is all I have so far. This was just a quick mix of a theory. I'm going back to Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess to try and find more information or hints for this subject.
Please comment if you have any other ideas and/or find flaws in this theory. I would appreciate the help. :)

__@Tingle_ebooks Rewrites Ocarina of Time__


Once, there was a little boy in the forest. Bet you weren't expecting that. He  wore green because all badasses wear green, but he didn't have a fairy so everybody laughed at him. Fairy slavery isn't funny! So the big tree in the forest sends a fairy to tell the boy that he needs to talk to the big ancient tree. Wait, so are all trees aware of things or just Deku Trees? What makes Deku Trees so special?! What is that slingshot made out of? Wood. From a tree. And that was found in the Deku Tree's mouth.


The Deku tree is a cannibal.

So the boy gets a sword that wasn't hidden very well and buys a shield made of the last Deku Tree. The Deku Tree says "Hai, I want you to climb in my mouth!" and the boy named Link says okay, and jumps in. A giant one-eyed spider attempts to kill Link, but Link says "I used to be a wimp, but then I took a Deku nut to the knee." Link sets fire to the Deku Tree's innards, and comes out and the Deku Tree dies from totally unrelated causes.


Link loots the dead tree and gets a green crystal. Link uses the crystal to make it so only he can hear Navi and she can't tell anyone he killed the Deku Tree.

Navi gets revenge by never shutting up.

Okay, so Navi never shuts up and Link decides maybe he can make her never talk ever, if he gets another gem. He goes to the castle and on his way, a huge fucking owl swoops down and that's when Link realized he was tripping balls. The owl drones on and on for who knows how long when Link pulls out his slingshot and has roast owl for supper. Link gets to Castle Town and hits on every single girl he sees. Apparently being a fairy is pretty popular with the ladies.

After killing all the local dogs, Link steals the heart of the world's sexiest redhead and sneaks onto the castle. Zelda starts displaying psychic powers or she's just drunk. Either way, both her and Link stare at Ganondorf.

She lets slip that there's more gems in the mountain and in the waterfall. Link hurries off while Navi screams at him. Link then goes to the ranch to kill chickens and somehow gets engaged to Malon while he's at it. Also, she sings. He finally makes it to the mountains and starts playing songs that make the Gorons dance and then make him strong.

Dancing does make you strong kids. Try it at home.

Link uses his strength the only way a hero knows how: Blowing the shit out of everything.

Link blows the shit out of an endangered species and all the Gorons reward him with another gem. The gem failed to shut Navi up, so then Link heads to the Zora waterfall and saves the princess who was trying to feed the royal pet fish.

Princesses can't do shit.

So Link gets engaged again and now he's got two fiancées. The water gem still doesn't shut Navi up. Navi and Link head back to Zelda to complain. So Zelda gets kidnapped by an old lady ninja and good guy Ganondorf is trying to save her, and ass hole Link stops him. Link goes into the Temple of Time and starts derping around with his ocarina he found and accidentally destroys timespace. Ganondorf gets there in the nick of time and barely saves the world from being destroyed.

Link goes into a coma for seven years and when he wakes up, he hallucinates that an old man says he has to kill Ganondorf. Link says okay and he starts blaming all the bad economy on poor Ganondorf, who is the only thing keeping Hyrule together. Ganondorf is blamed for the horrible draught and Link works hard and assembles a team of assassins to kill him. Link and his team storm the castle and they must be on weed because I'm sure they used rainbows as a weapon.

Ganondorf tries to reason with Link but Link just starts popping drugs and starts calling the wise old king a pig. Link beats the shit out of the king and splits the universe into three fucking timelines!

See what happens when you kill the only character who knows what the fuck is going on?!

Oh, and Link bangs Malon in all three timelines, so happy ending.

Tingle Rewrites Ocarina of Time. The End.
Navi still won't shut up.

Ghirahim. LOL.

As the title says the new villain in the Zelda cannon, Lord Ghirahim, is my favorite. This journal is the reasons why I have him as my favorite over any other villain in the series. (I feel like I'm writing an essay, Oh well...)

Reason One: He's intelligent

     As you play Skyward Sword you see how inventive Ghirahim is. His attacks are amazing! He's a skilled fighter who knows what he's doing. He also know just when to attack (*cough* Temple of Time *cough*). In the Fire Sanctuary he knows just how to mess around with Link to try and get the answers he wants (even though Link beat him). He's great with magic which means he has to have a good level of wisdom and intelligence scores (Dungeons and Dragons...sorry for the reference). He's a schemer and when he finally gets Zelda you never saw it coming.


Reason Two: He's Entertaining

       When you watch the cut scene you see just how dramatic the guy can be, and that's down right funny! Unlike Ganondork who's always straight- facing and never funny at all. Ghirahim really knew how to flaunt his emotions for the camera. It was certainly fun to watch. I like a villain who knows how to put on a show.


Reason Three: He's Attractive

       He's a bishie and dude that's one thing that definitively draws me in! Ganondork is sooo UGLY!!! Is it wrong to want a hot villain for once?


Reason Four: He's not or Working with Ganondork

       I really don't like Ganondorf. He's annoying and needs a break from the games for a while. The game designers rarely ever don't use Ganondorf. When I found out that SS didn't have Ganondork in it I was happy.



So those are my reasons for having Ghirahim as my favorite LoZ Villain. Enough said.
