Throughout the game, he causes many problems for Link, Zelda | Throughout the game, he causes many problems for Link, Zelda and {{s|zeldawiki|Impa}} by taunting and harassing them. The reason for this is eventually explained; Zelda is the physical reincarnation of the goddess {{s|zeldawiki|Hylia}} and Ghirahim was solely after Hylia's divine essence, it being the sole thing capable of reviving his master, the Demon King Demise. Near the end of the game, Link would successfully vanquish Demise with the [[Triforce]] in his time, but Ghirahim kidnaps Zelda and travels back in time via the last {{s|zeldawiki|Gate of Time}}, returning to a point [[zeldawiki:Hylia's_Realm|before]] Demise's vanquishment and successfully reviving him. Ghirahim is then revealed to be merely the spirit within Demise's Sword, as Link's ally, {{s|zeldawiki|Fi}}, is to him. After Link defeats and seals away Demise permanently, Ghirahim's fate as of that point remains unknown. | ||
