Zelda: Skyward Sword HD (Switch) - Final Boss & Ending

[@wobbegong4366]

I was very impressed with how Demise’s personality was written. Yes he is the Demon King hellbent on world domination and curses Zelda and Link for all time, but he also carries himself with dignity and a warriors pride. Even when he first meets Link he doesn’t immediately talk shit, rather he has a calm and respectful conversation with him and is genuinely impressed by Links’s bravery. He even goes so far to have a one on one showdown with him away from Links’s friends or any other distractions. Makes me wonder if Demise is a fallen hero since he wields what can only be described as a corrupted Master Sword.

[@emilycanfield2634]

That would make sense, he was related to Hylia in some way and thats why he wanted to ruin the world she created/watched over. To spite her, or to hurt her. Demise also mentions that Link doesn't fight like any demon he's known -- so does that mean Demise used to fight for the "good" guys/the light side?

[@IamCanadian3333]

I agree with this strongly. Too add to this, he was seemingly intrigued by even the concept of a mere Hylian (aka Link) even challenging him, and then admired Link being able to defeat him, not screaming or cursing in denial, but accepting his defeat and acknowledging Link's power. Also he actually respects Hylia's power and was disappointed that she had "reduced" herself to that of a Hylian (aka Zelda).

[@Silverlightbird]

Interesting thought .. reminds me somehow of Davy Jones. At some point he was her champion with blessed powers, but he desired more (being her loved one); ultimately he was rejected by her and he went nuts and on a rampage. Hylia had to banish him to hell, where he became Demise and he swore vengeance in her. Hmm would be a nice story :D

[@chadpeterson5698]

Demise is more or so fascinated by Link's bravado rather than actually impressed as Demise almost immediately starts talking down to Link and he's also still ultimately a sore loser as he still casts the curse making Demise dishonorable he's sophisticated if anything.

You gotta admire Ghirahim’s loyalty to his master… even though Demise doesn’t show the least bit of gratitude for all the work his minion has done for him, and immediately forces his spirit back into his weapon, Ghirahim just laughs manically, content with the fact his plan succeeded and his master will rule.

[@jorgechavarria4799]

There's so many cool design details on demise that make him almost like sort of evil version of Link that I never noticed before. Aside from the obvious anti-master sword thing going on, things like his scales are mirrored with links chainmail, which I believe was first used in this SS, or how his hair tapers off like links hat as if it were a flaming version of it. He's incredibly respectful to those he thinks deserves it too, he talks about how the goddesses true form was magnificent compared to Zelda, and praises links bravery. Honorable too, creating a pocket dimension specifically for them to fight that's free of distractions but doesn't give himself unfair advantages in it. He wants a fair fight, and considering how he calls it links tomb its honestly a really pretty tomb all things considered. You'd expect someone like demise to make a pocket dimension that looks like something out of dark souls. Too bad he only exists for 15 minutes, would've been a cool antagonist.

[@MrSailing101]

The chainmail was first shown in Twilight princess, and that game implied that it was also in OOT, as Link is wearing (a graphically updated version of) the same outfit that the hero of time wore in the adult timeline of OoT.

Also to think she spent thousands of years there all by herself, I can't imagine how lonely that must have been.

[@burger_kinghorn]

I found it very obvious the old woman was Impa. Look at her clothes, tear tattoo, and blond hair. When you go back in time to meet fully awakened Zelda, she mentions the old woman in the Sealed Temple helped her and the camera pans to young Impa who glances away. She knew what her future was.

[@Darth1Marik]

@@burger_kinghorn Well no I knew the two were the same character almost immediately I meant the gesture itself is what I missed. They gave her too obvious identifying marks to hide that older Impa was the younger Impa you see in the Eldin region. When they finally showed her face and you see the teardrop tattoo marking on the same cheek as the older women I said, "Oh so she's the old lady." It's just playing the game and reading the text the first time you don't really glance at the character motions and what they are doing. At least I didn't because I didn't wanna miss any story text.

Demise's sheer existence due to Ghirahim's actions was a testament of fate. So when he saw link, the part of him that contained memories from Lorule came back, and he immediately knew he was in the presence of the Hylian Triforce, thus binding him to Link and Zelda by fate...forever

When I was kid I thought we were fighting in Demise's hell and that if we didn't defeated him we will never turn back!!! LIke you kill him or you are lost forever....

plz when you upload these final boss videos for brand new games, don't spoil it in the thumbnail like ProsafiaGaming. i know this is a remaster of an old game, but there were other times too with games that weren't remakes/remasters

The actual fight was the shortest chapter in this entire video.

[@noahd5545]

I couldn’t beat demise because my skyward strike would never work so I am so glad that this video exists so i can see the end of this super fun game

[@eternalamos365]

I just realized something if Ghirahim has the red gem (Power) on his chest, and Fi with the blue gem (Wisdom) wouldn’t there be a green gem for courage?

[@kiro5010]

😳botw 2?

[@gsnamine3958]

i dont think that Fi represent 1 of the tri forcr Here the explanation: Her colour blue are the tears from the Home from link. But the 3 Symbols what a connected with the tri force are the 3 Levels below the Clouds the colour are Green for the forest Red for eldin And yellow for the Sand So it exist a Green and yellow gem maybe IT exist 4 swords . And sorry for my Bad English i am a German Player and have Trouble with the English names

[@vileplume5927]

Link IS courage personified

[@silentmoon8604]

that was the cleanest demise fight i witnessed

[@burger_kinghorn]

He's way too easy

[@MikMoen]

From what I understand, at the VERY beginning there was Benevolence and Malice, Hylia and Demise. Two opposing forces fated to conflict. Demise desired what Hylia had, and Hylia couldn't outright destroy Demise, the only way to "end" him was through imprisonment, and to do that she gave up the God like form she and Demise shared, and opted to have a Mortal act in her stead as guardian of the world whenever the need arises. That leads me to believe The Master Sword originally belonged to Hylia. That would explain why Demise has his own Sword that looks like an exact opposite of the Master Sword. That leads me to ask, I would LOVE to see an origin game that replaces Link with Hylia.

[@IamSupreme333]

Hylia explicitly created the Goddess Sword and Fi directly to guide Link to the Triforce

[@cosechadorjunior]

13:47 I assume Zelda is crying because she was overwhelmed with gratitude?

[@mjgato153]

as soon as 23:33 hit, I remember being a little kid and having the feeling that a long journey was over. I felt like a hero. Ever so inspired by these games and the previous, especially wind weaker and twilight princess

[@DarkDezhel]

I really miss the old credits, when the chorus star at the end there was 3 locations, each one with the names: Eiji Aonuma, Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata, but now they put together the original and HD staff so it doesn’t feel the same (Am I the only one who look at those nonsense things (? )

[@lyonerbomber9753]

Executive Producer Satoru Iwata Thank you for everything ❤️

This is a cutscene that really would be elevated with voice acting, like the type of stuff Ganonforf was spouting in Totk was incredible with the VA of Matt Mercer.

[@feanor7967]

You are the best Skyward Sword player on KZbin. You have my praise. 😊

[@crazydud2432]

I love how dramatic the Demise is, and its a great and challenging final boss... if you come at him unprepared. The first time I wasnt very well equiped and I did struggle a little due to his damage output. The second time I brought with me one of the invincibility potions and once you arent worried about damage the fight lasts seconds

[@dedmnwlkn5796]

Im so sad we NEVER got to see demise again.

[@cristobaltorres3044]

Radagon scaly dude with scars and pulsing shadow emanating from his cracked body, is turned into a sword and then the hero is transported to a shadowy realm with shallow water. Idk man seems like copying homework but changing it just enough to say you didn't.

[@ToonGohan]

Botw 2 needs to bring this back 10:15

[@93BigShane]

Wow you made this look really easy, I just got up to the final boss today and died twice.

[@ebusive]

5:47 Does this mean that Demise wasn't at full strength when he was beaten? If that's the case it makes me wonder how powerful he actually is. I hope this is another question addressed in BoTW2

[@xXNightedgeXx]

Isn't botw set more ahead in the future of alot of games in the timeline??

[@chadpeterson5698]

Well Ganon has reached power that is just as if not stronger than Demise especially since since we do know that Hylia beat Demise in a 1v1 fight with him meanwhile Ganon has used the power of the golden goddess who are implied to be stronger than both Hylia and Demise. However I would that Demise is stronger than Majora but that's probably because Majora is a glass cannon. Also the only way Demise's full strength could ever be addressed again is either 1. In a prequel to Skyward Sword, or DLC for this remake of Skyward Sword.

I just realized. We had three games in a row where we had a swordfight with Ganondorf/Demise in the middle of a storm. As well as three games in a row where Link finishes him with a downward plunge.

Yes, it was Fi. She is essentialy the spirit of the Master Sword.

So for anyway thats played the remake, how good are the button controls? From what I've read they seem unwieldy but the footage I've seen they look fine. Whether I get it or not depends solely on whether the button controls are good or not.
