Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Final Boss: Demise [HD]

- Battle starts at 2:24. (No Damage)
The final battle with the demon king himself. The first phase is fairly simple; he'll block all of your attacks no matter what unless you're lucky enough to land a hit or two before he retaliates. When you shield bash his slashes and attack one time (only once) he'll slash again, and if you do this four times in a row he'll fall and allow you to slash him up. After a few hits, he'll call a lightning storm to supercharge his blade. In this phase, he'll use electric skyward strikes to attack you from afar and also will charge into your face. The way to attack him is to steal his thunder (literally) by raising your sword when the lightning strikes and swinging it back at him to stun him. After a few hits, he'll fall on his back; perform a finishing strike to deliver the final blow. It usually misses the first time.
After the battle, he'll make an allusion to a certain villain in future games..and is then sealed into the Master Sword. - เกม

I love how during the final phase of this battle, both Demise and Link realize that electricity is indeed the most broken thing in this game.
Lightning is the best!

*L I G H T N I N G! intensifies*
Now I wanna see Link hold Thor's hammer Mjolnir
Lightning is a force of awesome
But only Link realizes that the bug net is the true path to victory.
[demise summons lightning]
demise: this is the end for you, boy.
[Link summons lightning]
demise: *oh*
Exactly
Link : *Pulls out Bug Net*
Demise : *Sweating profusely*
More like
Demise: Wait thats illegal
*this isn't how you're supposed to play the game*
hold up Prox?! Whatchu know bout this broooooo
I actually like how Demise, in his adrenaline-laced drive to survive, was actually able to dodge the first two death strikes before finally succumbing to the third. It made for a nice fake-out moment.
You can kill him on the first the window us very small.
@@gandhiodusklifgote1093 no you can't, the earliest possible kill is on the second knockdown.
@@gandhiodusklifgote1093Speedrunners down him twice on this version of the game I'm pretty sure
@@gandhiodusklifgote1093He’s guaranteed to dodge the first one, you can get him on the second knockdown if you do the fatal blow as soon as you can.
@@gandhiodusklifgote1093 impossible. It's scripted into the game for him to get up every time on the first one. There's no need to lie. At all.
Talk about a sore lose. Demise didn't accept his defeat.Instead he cursed hyrule and rise again as ganandorf.
I don't think he intentionally laid such a curse, he is a Demon King or Lord basically I think it was just a matter of it isn't so easy for a demon to be gone from the world even if they want it and because of what transpired there, his hatred being eternal will find it's way into someone's heart who will target the one with the Spirit of the Goddesses in such hate and as such will prompt the one with the Hero's blood to feel the same desire to rid the world of said evil with courage that the first hero had.
Amelia Kyle Hmm good point.
Maybe if link asked the demon lord nicely not to destroy the world, maybe he would go back to being sealed :P
No this is the ruler of all evil.He wouldn't listen and will just slay link.Even you and me most likely won't give up being king.
Fatcat Movies INC LOL XD
So Ganondorf, in all of his forms, is the reincarnation of Demise and the bearer of his soul. Link is the Soul of the Hero and Zelda the Soul of the Goddess. Three souls, trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation; Demise reincarnates as Ganon to bring the end of the world, and each time fate sends the Soul of the Hero in a new form to challenge him, with no memories of his past life, and the Soul of the Goddess is sent with him to aid him. Two heroes standing against one dark entity across the sea of time, all of them with no recollection of their past selves.
...Yanno, it's probably better they don't remember past lives, 'cuz I think these three would hate being brought back again and again just to keep fighting. Still, it's quite an original setting.
unsub me, i've been hacked
Look up the Hyrule Historia; it details the actual timelines of the series. It's not an alternate-universe setting.
+The Writer Original setting? It's the most cliche' thing ever conceived since the dawn of "knight saves princess".
Yeah...I think they'd be QUITE pissed if they realized that what they've done has happened again and again...lol...
"Transcending history, and the world...a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold."
They would probably find peace if they did remember, what's the point of fightning if you know that right after that, it'll all be brought to zero?
My favorite thing about Demise is how patient he is. Think about it.
He says he can spare a few more moments to wait for you to meet him in battle, and this is your chance to go back and finish any side quests. In the future.
Demise waited for thousands of years because Skyloft is STILL THERE!
Or maybe his defeat in the past was already set in stone.
Timetravel is confusing
Returning back to the present and seeing how everything is still completely normal makes it obvious that the events of Skyward Sword were pre-determined from the very start. Link was destined to fight and defeat Demise once and for all.
The Goddess Hylia was incredibly prepared for the outcome, as the Zelda series as a whole was part of her plan.
well to be fair he is kind of immortal a few moments is thousands of years
@Fluffynator Well, with Impa it was, but with some tree it wasn't. I wouldn't be surprised if nintendo didn't quite pay attention to the rules
Not to mention how polite/respectful he is, even after being defeated. It just makes him that much more chilling of a villain IMO.
Can we appreciate Link's development as a character? He goes from this fun, goofy teenager into a badass warrior that faces the root of all evil.
Well, you have to remember, this is the VERY FIRST incarnation of the Hero and Goddess in the series. Hylia abandoned her immortal form to reside within Zelda using her power.
@@frederickglass1583 Hard to forget something like that. I'm just enjoying Link's growth, that's all I'm saying.
Stole it from TP but yeah
@@NobleVagabond2552 TP Link wasnt goofy, just edgy
@Frederick Glass I feel like you got off topic.
I love the callback to Twilight Princess with that finisher, and also showing how much of a badass Demise was in being able to dodge that finisher TWICE before finally being taken down.
The fact that he dodges those death blows at the very last moment is absolutely mind-blowing and just absolutely awesome
in the game he's only scripted to dodge it once. the player in this video was just too slow to get it the second time.
It's so easy to beat him buy 3 guardian potions and upgrade them you will be invincible for 8 9 min job done can't believe no one managed to find this well not a cheat code
If Nintendo animated the finale of Skyward Sword, they'd probably make Demise dodge twice
call forward
I don't care what anyone says. This game was fantastic, especially visual wise
Agreement to the max.
seidl01
Underrated game. I find the hatred towards it mostly biased from people who just cannot grow up and accept that things move forward and advance in innovation. The people that don't care for this game should just stop ranting about it and go back to playing the old games.
*****
But meanwhile, other people just don't care.

Even good games have tutorials. They existed since the N64 days. People are just to blind and oblivious to it because they are wearing nostalgia glasses and living the delusion that everything was perfect back in their day but there are many good things in Skyward Sword and to me they outweigh anything negative about the game. The combat is fun and challenging, I liked the environments and atmosphere especially areas like the Sandship, Ancient Cistern, and Lanayru Mining Facility, and the characters are memorable and develop over the course of the game. Groose for an instance starts off as kind of a jerk but over time he starts to become a good friend of Link's and starts helping him out and he proves to be useful. Also I liked Ghirahim because he was basically not only an antithesis of Fi but also an antithesis of Link himself. He is well accomplished as a swordsman and is a very formidable adversary. I am just quite surprised why this guy wanted to release Demise to rule the world rather then rule the world himself because he is a commander of entire armies and actually made active attempts on the surface world to stop Link and Zelda's destinies. Overall Skyward Sword is a great game. Yes it is linear but it's one of those games that makes up for it's linearity by providing a decent challenge to the player. Skyview Temple is a hard dungeon actually and it's so satisfying beating the bosses and mini-bosses of this game because of the challenge they provide. One of my favorite bosses and this is probably everyone's favorite is the main boss of the Ancient Cistern. This half machine, half being of darkness is just one of those bosses that you just feel a sense of satisfaction when facing because you are actually dismembering and taking this thing apart bit by bit and using his own weaponry against him. Link does not get enough respect because he can be a real badass at times. What Ghirahim has an army? Screw having an infantry to fight back against the horde. Just send in Link.
+warioland523 For me the hatred is all the backtracking. If they added more variety in levels it might have been one of my favourites in the franchise.
Seriously. The artstyle is sick.
I like TP and SS artstyle
yeah same I hope next console zelda has like a hd version of TP's artstyle, imagine how awesome that'd be. like imagine the level of amazing graphics of games like battlefront but in a zelda game, holy shit.
「L O O S E G R O O S E」 I know, what I'm saying is imagine how amazing it would look to hwve TP's artstyle with the graphics of a game like Battlefront, that'd be fucking amazing.
@@yayayayayaya8140 yeah they defined need to do that and make the graphics realistic with the game it would be awesome, what I've always wanted
Botws art style is my favorite because it brings tww’s cell shading into the realism of tp and ss
I remember fighting this boss as a kid and struggling so hard that when I finally beat him I cried. I busted all my shields to hell and had no options left when I finally tried raising my sword, and when that lightning hit I felt like a chosen hero. Say what you want about skyward sword, but that atmosphere was real, and it's what I chase in from soft games to this day.
I don't get why people don't like skyward sword. Really now, it makes no sense.
wait that was botw. oh crud.
And that's why I got the hylian shield immediately after helping out the thunder dragon... So I don't ever have to worry about a broken shield...
skyward sword is super fun, Idk why it got so much hate. Maybe because it was on the wii? Idk, but younger me loved being able to actually swing the sword around
my brother, if you like atmosphere, give Metroid Prime a try.
The Wii was actually the highest selling 7th generation console. I think people only hate it just because they are just bad at the motion controls
I don't care what anyone says, I really like this game
*Looks at demise's face.*
Akuma is that you?
HackerHaunter more like is that berserker/hercules
Berserker
Basaka
I knew I wasn’t the only one saying that. Mf look just like a copy and paste of akuma
Zod from Berserk?
that sad moment when you're sword is a better fighter than you.
You know I just realised I used the wrong version of "your" in my joke comment.
DarksideEXE Yep, we also noticed.
DarksideEXE We all make mistakes no worries.
Lol yes
LMAO
I love that final stab. The jump and spin of Link, the "Hyaah!" we all know and love, shock of the lightning hitting Link's blade, and the sound of his sword piercing through Demise
The Desmeister 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
That final blow was amazing
but the spin tho
link has only done the flip, not the spin.
@Jonah Squires Yeah and every time you catch a fucking lightning bolt with your sword
Every Zelda game should be required to have an awesome final blow
@@ajvlogs957 Point your sword toward the sky, and you will obtain the power of lightning :)
Demise is like satan himself. This games bosses are so cartoony but demise is one of the evilest zelda characters ever conceived.
It's the first ganon
Which is odd, because literally of the enemies in this game beforehand, bosses included, look like drawings in a kindergartner's notebook. Happy that at least Demise and Ghirahim's true form were appealing to the eyes and intimidating in appearance
Don't forget about Majora who is so evil she doesn't even need a reason to kill and destroy as well as her design being pretty evil looking right down to the mask
He's also one of the few Zelda villains with a sort of honor code.
Zachary Kenniston demise and majora are the two most threatening villains in this series so far (in my opinion), they are both a bit similar to Satan, demise is a all powerful Demon, who seeks to take control of what the goddesses made, like how Satan is the king of sin and wishes to take control of what God made.
Majora is powerful and manipulative, slowly taking control of your mind, lying to you to get you to do what she wants, Satan will lie to you to get you to do what he wants you to do, and he will try to manifest himself into what you enjoy most and use it against you(like how majora used skull kid's love of pranks against him, and tricked him into thinking that no one wanted to be friends with him, and that he should get revenge because of that).
I know it's a common belief that Demise get's reincarnated as Ganondorf, but for comedy's sake, wouldn't be funny if he came back as a totally different character like King Dedede? XD
...You mean he DIDN'T?
***** Groose was the true villain all along. I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fi is the true enemy here...
Chris Westergaard well it kinda makes more sense than you think because demise is a devil and ganondorf is a king so between the time for demise the reincarnated demise's second in command lord garihim is the new devil so he can't be reincarnated there so what better thing to do is to make a tribe in Zelda that is all female and have a male born every oue hundred years
Joshua Martinez how so
People are saying this boss was easy but I was getting my shit wrecked the first time I fought him. I ended up using all my potions and I didn't even know about the lightning trick. I had to use my shield the entire time. Thank god for the Hylian Shield, man.
I mean, we all have trouble with new enemies, but they could've made this boss way more intricate in his moves/counter moves.
yeah I just wish it was longer ....Maybe he transformed into a dragon and I would be satisfied...
Demise wasn't that hard. I beat him on my first try and I didn't even know about the lightning strike. But I did have 4 fairies in a bottle
holykiller1191 seriously, that thing is strong, being able to take blows from fucking gods.
holykiller1191 this shit was hard as fuck but once you know how to do it's easy.
I just love Demise's last words they give me Chills so cool!, And i also love how they put the Word "incarnation" highlighted just to remind you that it is never over, Ganon will always come back
If the legend of Zelda ever had to come to an end, I wish it will be with a link that could see part of his past life's and a Zelda with all her goddesses powers against a Ganon that in the final stage of the fight just transforms in demise for a last time before the goddess banish the curse for ever.
It probably won't happen, but if it has to be, I hope it is like that
@@alexiskapotaringa A game where link remembers all of his past lifes would be interesting
DEMISE vs GHIRAHIM:
Number of battles with Link:
• Demise = 1
• Ghirahim = 3
Number of Fatal Blows they can withstand:
• Demise = 1
• Ghirahim = More than 3
Number of attacks:
• Demise = 3
• Ghirahim = At least 20
Defences:
• Demise = None
• Ghirahim = Skin that's "tougher than any armour"
Status following the final battle:
• Demise = Deceased
• Ghirahim = Alive with barely a scratch
So, Ghirahim should think "F**k you Master, I'm a bigger badass than you could ever hope to be... I'm taking the world for my OWN!"
Except Ghirahim got owned by Demise
+LooneyBoy There you go.
+Josh Watson Well, the sword DID disappear from its master's side towards the end...
Actually, Demise was battled four times.Thrice as The Imprisoned, but I can see your point. LOL nice observation.
One more thing to add. Ghirahim was the one responsible for reviving his wielder and master...
+Russell Salacup Let me ALSO add that Link technically fights Demise only once before his death, considering that the final battle takes place in the past and thus Link hadn't previously fought The Imprisoned at this point
Demise:"AND THE WORLD SHALL BE UNDER MY FOOT FOR ETERNITY!"
*Link gets out bug net*
Demise:...!
Nintendo Fan lol
Demise: NANI?!
Link could say, "What the hell?! Ya really gonna murder ev'rybody on Skyloft?! No way in Hell! I ain't gonna lose Zelda--or anybody else--'cuz I got the Master Sword that's gonna stab yer heart!"
Demise: Wait that's cheating
The cutscene before this fight is one of my favorite in the series. I absolutely love the setting, it's just you and him in and endless sea stretching on towards the horizon.
The setting, the dialogue, the music, such a fantastic scene.
@@yang6642 1:02 “take a moment to appreciate your surroundings”
@@butt-head2656 I was like...how nice of him to give him this beautiful place to spend eternity if he died
I find the setting terrible, lol. It's really not what come to mind when having the final fight againts the root of all evil. It's so anticlimatic.
You know for a demon king he was pretty chill
He even had some respect for Link
That final blow was epic!
+Rasheed Thomas You're damn right it was.
+Rasheed Thomas Twilight Princess final blow is more epic.
Laurence Hecquet Except Ganondorf doesn't scream like Demise which takes away from it a bit. Imo Demise screaming like that is one of the things that makes the boss fight epic because it reinforces the fact you've given him what he had coming.
***** But Ganondorf's yell was funnier XD
Laurence Hecquet True.
Demise's curse is one of the most interesting parts to the Zelda timeline, it makes so much sense and ties things up surprisingly well. I wonder if beings like Malladus and Vaati are caused by Demise's curse as well?
By the incarnation, he means ganon/ganondorf, so Demise came before him
Dracomut I have to wonder how many souls come back, even if not every time. Does Impa's come back? I mean, she's in a lot of games. Is Zelda's father the same soul all the time (so Rhoam is the same soul as the headmaster)? What about Purah and the ancient tech lab people?
But most of all...
Does Groose's soul come back.
There are theories that suggest that Vaati is an incarnation of Ghirahim, as we know for sure that Ganon is the incarnation of Demise, but it was never fully established what happened to Ghirahim. It's very possible that he has caused a fair amount of the mischief as well, and Vaati looks a lot like Ghirahim, and also has some similar abilities and personality traits. It's been told in Zelda lore that not long after the establishment of Hyrule, dark monsters stormed the land born from evil, and it was the Hero of Men who defeated the monsters and sealed them in a great chest. Vaati was hell bent on freeing the monsters and obtaining magical power, monsters that were a sign of Demise's eternal hatred taking form. It was never fully established exactly where Maladus came from though. Some believe that he is the new incarnation of Demise. With Ganondorf now dead, and Hyrule destroyed, that ended the cycle of Ganon, but the curse still lingers all the same. Demise himself said that the spirit of those who descend from the hero and the royal family will forever be bound to the curse, meaning killing Ganon and destroying Hyrule will not fully end the cycle, it only creates a new eternal cycle of Demise's hatred. So long as the people of Hyrule exist, the curse cannot end, and it's very likely that Maladus is the new embodiment of the cycle in New Hyrule.
I like this idea a lot. Also Malladus and calamity ganon share some similarities. Both are demons with out physical form needing a body/vessel to reincarnate into
I believe that Demise's curse/hatred is malice itself, not Ganondorf. Hence why Ganondorf is leaking malice from his body, he was cursed to be the source of Demise's hatred
5:14 Ghirahim: "Master, the battery for your Wii Remote is dead... I don't feel so good..."
*In Skyward Sword HD*
Ghirahim: "Master, the battery in your Joy-Cons are dead... I don't feel so good..."
Demise: Do Joy Cons even use batteries?
ganondorf had a air of tragedy for me ever since i found about the curse, he is bound by destiny to always be the villain of the story.
Ok I definitely want a zelda game where demise returns.
agreed, Just like Zelda is a reincarnation of the goddes Hylia, Ganandorf is a reincarnation of Demise, however unlike zelda, i dont think ganandorf knows of his past life! it would be cool if in one game, Ganandorf learns about his past life Demise, and somehow uses his dark magic to sacrifice his body to bring back the original Demise that was reborn into Ganandorf!
BoTW2 looks fairly promising in that regard...
@@mammothplant I was literally just about to comment this. Wonder if Demise is gonna be the real big bad making a comeback
@@PakistanDefenseForum Forgetting in the Donwfall timeline, Ganon dies in A Link to the Past, was resurrected and merged with his Lorule counterpart Yuga in A Link Between Worlds, was resurrected as a mindless beast by Twinrova in the Oracle games, was fully resurrected centuries before the events of Zelda 1. And in the Child timeline, he died in Twilight Princess, but was reborn years before Four Sword Adventure. The only timeline Ganondorf truly stayed dead in was in the Adult timeline after his death in Wind Waker.
If he were to return as demise himself it would have to be in the last zelda game in both the series and timeline. I actually had a game idea where he was the final boss.
Looks like he met his Demise (fucking end my life)
Ba dum tssss
TheCoberX ㅤ nice
Beautiful. Just Beautiful.
Having beaten him for the first time, I absolutely jawdropped when he cursed Link with an incantation of his hate to follow his lineage forever.
I knew Ganondorf had to come from somewhere, but it was still shocking
More like cursing himself to get his ass beat for all eternity.
@@SeraphSeph lmao
Did anyone else think that Motion Controls were actually fun to use in fighting scenes?
I didn’t have many problems with the motion controls. My biggest problem was that it was sometimes hard to move. I was experiencing drift before the Switch even existed.
The motion controls definitely made this fight a lot of fun it was just raising my sword into the air that didn't work for me. And also link kept bringing up his shield when I didn't want him to.
It was horrible in this fight. Trying to get the sword to line up straight for the lightning to hit it was horrendous
Your just bad at the game.
Kind of makes me feel bad for Ganondorf. He's born out of Demise's endless hatred time after time, destined only to cause havoc before being bested by Farore's champion. It's funny, he's kind of like an evil Neo in that way.
He's basically a victim of the curse himself, and doesn't even realize it. Easy to pity him that way
Yeah, what if he just wanted to work at burger king but a voice kept telling him to conquer the world
Aha! Caught you red handed. JUST farores champion?! (Puts on and intentionally adjusts nerd glasses) ACTUALLY! Hes Farores, Dins and Nayrus champion, ALONG with skyloft. Ok, I'm done XD
@@butterspike680 That's actually pretty funny, I cackled a bit at that, but I think Demise chose ganondorf because of his Ganondorfs own evil desires.
neen LOL
wish my wiimote would cooperate that well...
Learn to caliber
hallonet654
You mean 'calibrate, you ding-dong.
Demon Lord Ghirahim
I totally understand what you mean. It took me two days to defeat him, especially because of the final blow thing.
And the ghirahim battles made me wanna die because the wiimote was either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. Most of the first battle with him was just me trying to struggle away from his grasp on the sword. I’m not very good at avoiding him.
Still a good game though.
deku-eku lol it’s my first time playing it and I’ve just turned my wii off, i can’t get my wii remote to do the skyward strike in phase 2 demise battle god I hate the motion controls but, as you said it is a good game and ghirahim is amazing villain
What about the GDQ guy? th-cam.com/video/TLbYFfc7G4c/w-d-xo.html just go to 7:20 and to me that level is beyond my capacity
Holy crap, the ending blow is just SHOCKINGLY beautiful!!! It is the best one in the series imo
You made a pun. I like you
The WW one is tied with TP for first, but Skyward is a really close second in my opinion.
Jessie Li I'm SHOCKED you'd make that pun...
That's EPICCCCC
Wind Waker is far above every other.
The fact that you killed Demise in a little over two minutes makes me doubt my own gaming skills so much, haha! I am beyond impressed. I think I died at least six times before defeating him. You rock!
You might have to fight Demise again in Tears of the Kingdom.
@@stacychamness9077nuh uh
They should remaster this game for the switch.
@JAMES KOE Porting it might be interesting tho
Agree. Only game I haven't played
JAMES KOE Granted it wouldn’t really need a remaster I’d love to replay it. Though the motion controls were what I loved about it. They were annoying to work with some times but it was worth it whenever you got to have actual sword fights.
@@raphaello64100 what if demise comes back during botw2
@@justagirlwithamustache9618 He does. In Form of Ganondorf.
Jeez Demise, all that talk, you'd think you'd be a better swordsman.
He was playing around with you thinking it was a joke. Untill he actually is put into a corner.
@@mlpfanboy1701 you're basically the god of evil. Some miniscule ant challenges you to a fight, then you find out the ant is your equal. It had to suck going out like that.
He didn't lost truly because he will incarnate again as Ganon to destroy Hyrule. This round was just a play for him.
He wasn’t at his absolute full power, Link had to kill him before Hylia’s soul was devoured by Demise or else his power would fully return
I love that the first phase of the fight, Demise is just toying with Link until the 2nd phase, where he views him as a true threat and starts using everything he has
Am I the only one who loves Skyward Sword? It's so underrated in the Zelda franchise, it's number 1 in my books and I find it better than BoTW.
Tbh i know your comment was two years ago, but i just finished the HD version of this game and i gotta say, i enjoyed the hell out of it
@Avinash Anand yeah, but ive just started to play the Legend of Zelda series, i gotta start from somewhere first
@Avinash Anand Maybe, but im just enjoying playing games
It's a little better than Breath of the Wild, but it's still fun.
@Avinash Anand its going to be a chore if you are constantly looking for action. Skyward sword is the longest linear zelda game so you should take your time
4:40
The most Badass final death blow EVER!
i mean come on: Link jumps up, And while in the air He raises his sword skyward and quickly Turns it over to kill Demise
BADASS!!!😀
The ending strike is so fucking badarse.
The fact that Demise dodges the death blow is absolutely amazing
Just does a stylish roll into a leap back onto his feet.
You might have to look very closely:
Anytime Link tries to attack Demise without a counter, Demise just shakes his head afetrwards like saying
"No, not like this, my boy"
He may have been a little on the easy side to beat, but this boss battles was epic! Menacing antagonist, awesome visuals, perfect music. Overall a superb ending to a truly great game.
+thehonorablereese The four face boss in Twilight Princess was 1000 times better than this lame boss fight. At least Ganondorf in Twilight Princess just never seems to die or give up, even though you defeat him four times in a row. It's just something spectacular that this game can never achieve.
i agree. but skyward sword best boss was koloktos in my opinion.
+Leslie Chow twilight princess bosses battles are boring and forgetful all of them.... Not one of them Is worth bragging about compared to skyward sword I'm sorry bro you wrong.
Blazedvenom It seems like you are a true fan of Skyward Sword. I know how it feels like to play a game for the first time and experience the magic. And I experienced the magic in Twilight Princess, and you achieved yours in Skyward Sword, and I'm cool with that. But the boss fights in Skyward sword and the whole game in general is just odd to me. Hope you understood me.
That moment when I had to do this boss battle somewhere in the region of 50 times before I completed it... 'easy' >.
Skyward Sword in my opinion had some of the best boss fights throughout the franchise.
Demise’s dialogue is some of the best I’ve ever heard from a villain, Nintendo truly made him scary.
This place that demise made, a supposed monster that is the cruelest and evil villain in all of Zelda history... made a beautiful place. Where the sky is blue, the sun is warm and beaming down, and clear water is at your feet. It truly is beautiful, and it feel like it says something about him.
Funny that no one else mentioned this.
Yet he destroys said scenery as if to mock Link. He wants everything and everyone under his foot. He is a monster, whether he appreciates a pretty scenery or not.
@kurokamireaper3761 he is absolutely evil, but this makes me wonder more about him. Its not ever mentioned why he is the way that he is and why he hates the gods. I'm wondering if demise was one a beautiful God like hylia, but something happened and he transformed into the way he is, filled with hatred and malice.
@@MegaLpso It just seems to me that he hates the Gods because they stand in his way. He is malice itself so he hates anyone. I wonder why he is that way too.
Ganondorf looks a lot like demise in tears of the kingdom
So they really succeeded making a terrifying boss. Skyward Sword is Nintendo's greatest achievement. Such a long full epic game. I loved Breath of the Wild but Skyward Sword is still #1 for me. I hope we see Demise again!
+MrGB0923 it's a great game, wish the controls didn't suck though.
+Loga Levaard They don't bruh. I don't understand how half the people who play the game have trouble and the other half are just fine. My friend only had trouble with aiming the beetle... which is odd because i watched him use it and he wasn't really doing anything different from me. and he was using my Wii/wiimote... so it's not like the hardware or setup was any different from mine.
It's just the fact that the wii mote is not a very precise instrument in a game that demanded precision, your right, the controls are not as bad as some make them out to be but it is a fact that the sensor bar does misread the motion of the remote sometimes.
Loga Levaard isn't that a thing you can turn off? since the game mainly uses the wii motion plus for aiming, I thought there was an option to turn off wii motion bar assist... maybe I'm thinking of a different game.
+Nedoxu to my knowledge, no. and it's not just aiming, thrusts are very difficult to get right, most the time it will treat it like any other swing seemingly randomly deciding whether it should do a vertical or horizontal slash instead.
Demise is the Dark Lord of the first game. Ganondorf is the Dark Lord in many of the others. It's like comparing Morgoth and Sauron in the Middle-earth history.
Demise is Ganon
Joseph Alicea
He's not Ganon. It's canon that he influenced Ganon in some way, possibly by creating him, possibly by mentoring him, we don't know for certain. But that's all that's canon.
Noah Mamet Ganon is the reincarnation of Demise, or rather the reincarnation of Demise's hatred towards the gods
Kermit the Frog I still think that demise and ganondorf are completely different people, demise said that his hatred and curse is gonna follow him, so he could even be referring to vaati yuga etc, or maybe demise is controling some of them? who knows.
Really feeling it Yuga and Vaati are also incarnations of Demise's hatred
I can't tell if it's just light shaking for some other reason, but does Demise lightly shake his head when Link kinda messes up? Not when Demise hits Link, but when Link hits Demise's sword a few times, around 2:35 and again at 3:01 and 3:06 .
If that's the case, that's an awesome little detail there.
I'm pretty sure that he does shake his head. I can't believe I've never noticed that! This game is more badass than I thought lol
holy shit it's subtle but I see it
Nah, it's literally Link's movement. Whenever he moves he kinda wobbles side to side and demise's head follows his movement.
I really think it's a head-shake movement. As you can see, Link only walks backwards and does not moves the sword so it is true, when you miss your attempt on hitting Demise, he's like....
"You filthy normie swordsman, REMOVE"
Bunny it's because link is moving around
I don't know how some people beat Demise on their first try, I got wrecked about a dozen times before I finally killed the bastard.
Was literally stuck fighting him for about 3-4 hours
After playing every dark souls game shit like this feels so easy
RairyuV2 Do it on Hero mode then.
+MrLinkDeity agreed
+MrLinkDeity I beat him on the first try but I haven't even played hero mode yet
I love it when Link raises the Master Sword and that Epic Hero Wins and Evil Will Always Lose music kicks in!! :D
***** Me too! To be honest when it plays it just makes me feel like the kid inside me screaming hell yeah I did it!

I need this game ported to the switch N O W
One of my favorite Zelda games
I need that profile pic ported to Switch

This aged well.
It’s coming. July 16
*uses the Triforce again*
“I wish for the curse placed upon me and Zelda by demise to be broken”
i love how zelda makes every weird lonely kid in the world feel like they're the most brave heroes, no matter how shy, weak or socially awkward you are. the best franchise ever.
I remember when I got to this battle and my brother watched me he had previously fought him and never knew you could raise your sword and strike the lightning slash at him so when I saw Demise do it I copied him and did it and I screamed like it was the coolest thing ever. Man, this boss fight.
I love how link has that "Don't fuck with me!" look around 5:20.
Because Link is a Badass
+62swordsmen For you maybe he was a badass...for me he was a total derp (I hate motion controls which is why Skyward Sword was the second worst in the Zelda franchise for me because it emphasized the use of motion controls way more than Twilight Princess did) and it always confuses me how someone as badass as Demise, Ghirahim and hell with it Ganondorf can lose to this derp all the time...
+Bass EXE you kind of confused me how motion controls made you think that this was the second worst Zelda game? Also if you really think about it Link is a tactical genius, he can easily find enemies weakness, and not only that he did train as a knight, and he has no fear AT ALL at anything (where compared to the other knights, Groose has more guts than they do), those three things can be possible to defeat a demon like Demise and Ghirahim
62swordsmen
Story-wise the game was decent, but gameplay wise this game was the second worst (worst being the CDI games if you even count that). This doesn't mean the game was bad, because it was a good game, but it lacked potential on the gameplay side. Severe unresopnsive controls made this game joyless for me (especially the imprisoned boss fights, don't even get me started on why that was awful). Albeit, other people don't seem to have a problem with this game and I generally did really suck at the game. It took me a long time to get used to the flight controls. However, even in battles, this game relied on making you swing precisely to get precise hits where sometimes I would swing the wii mote horizontally, yet Link would swing diagonally and it would count as a vertical slash thus not being effective against the enemy. I've tried re-calibration and yet these problems still persisted with the game. So yea, severe unresponsive controls sunk this ship for me. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the story because the story was actually quite good, but gameplay is what matters most in a Zelda game. With the shield constantly having to be repaired, a run gauge that makes Link run out of breath this game didn't just fail on control, it had features that weren't needed. Maybe they were trying for a "realistic" direction, but I mean you have a world with dragons, monsters and several other mythical creatures, realism went out the window in the beginning of the game.
In regards to Link being a "tactical genius", keep in mind he is always relying on the side kick to tell him hints on how to fight the enemy, so is he really knowledgeable about who he is fighting or is he simply taking orders from the sidekick? (Fi, Navi, Midna, Tatl, etc.) If he is simply taking orders, that means he wouldn't be a "tactical genius" despite having being trained as a knight in this game. In other games he had no formal training in swordsmanship whatsoever and went solely of improvisation (Ocarina of Time, Link to the past just to name 2 as an example). His lack of experience in the battlefield should demonstrate that he shouldn't be losing to people like Ganon.
At least these are my opinions.
+Bass EXE so it was good but bad game...I wouldn't say that's the second worst Zelda for you....but wait if skyward sword is your second what's the worst Zelda game (because clearly i like all of them...with the exception of a game about Tingle and Links crossbow training)
Truly a legendary battle compared to other battles in the series. This one feels more genuine with the level of skill behind both fighters. Heck Demise himself fights in a rather organized and skilled way rather than going crazy and just swinging savagely like a maniac.
That had to be the most badass finish I’ve ever seen in the Zelda franchise.
Notice how Fi said "Good luck" instead of something like "May the goddess be with you." She sounds less formal at this point. :D
I'll always remember this fight I didn't know about the Lightning trick. Failed at least 10 times only killed him by rolling around and chipping away one hit at a time. Fight lasted 15 minutes and it was so satisfying when I finally killed the SoB.
Bro, you've way too much patience
same just happened to me, for some reason I couldn't hit him with the lightning, he would always hit me when I tried it
He’s like the perfect size/form for a final boss. Just humanoid enough to seem your equal but just enough taller to evoke a monstrously superior foe
Spoilers for TOTK:
I feel Ganondorf’s Demon form reveal is a large callback to Demise’s appearance
TotK Ganondorf’s bottoms/pants also looks to be based on the Imprisoned as well.
Another TOTK, skyward sword story got retcon because zonai came from sky which doesn't acknowledge skyward sword story
@@mahendrap1960 Not a retcon. Totk takes place a really big time in the future compared to SS. It would go like this: Original timeline>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Zonai>>>>>Calamity Ganon first defeat>>>>>>>>>>BotW>TotK.
@@alantezoni9813 seem like you did not watch zelda flashback , didn't you ? Zonai never mentioned anything anything related to SS storyline so it is retcon by nintendo, so SS is no longer canon by Nintendo
Personally I found this the most exciting, and hardest zelda boss I have every fought. This game is so much fun and with Demise being a truly epic battle made it so much better
Are you serious? This boss was super easy. Imo, the most exciting boss to beat was the ganondorf 3 part battle in twilight princess. They should have made this boss longer or with more parts.
@@Linkfan007 Demise is only hard when you don't know how to parry, especially if you don't have the hylian shield. But C'mon, TP Ganondorf is way more easy and less exciting thant Demise...
@@godot_24 no way, c'mon that horse battle was epic and the sword fight one on one combat was so cool!!
@@Linkfan007 bruh cmon here in demise we get to use lightning like fucking zeus
@@yocuff130ok, that aspect WAS pretty cool. 😏 But STILL O_O I'm still on board with TP ganon boss fight being better.
You cant even change my mind. This is the best final boss in any Zelda game
demise: im literally the incarnation of evil
link: heeyah
I love how Demise's title drop isn't "Demon King Demise" but just "DEMISE"
It's just like the first time we saw Ganon in OoT... Just "GANON." No need for ANYTHING else!
This boss was clearly easy for you, but not for me. The first time in fought this boss I only had one of those shields that break, and it broke during this fight. I could barely anticipate when I could attack because I was so busy wiping the 3 gallons of sweat rushing down my face.
anybody stop to think that the place that the hero of the sky and demise fought, may be the same place where zelda and the hero of time met after defeating ganon?
10 years later we can kick demise’s ass again
Gotta love Thunder Dragon
Demise really had some major Darkseid vibes going on
What's Ares doing here, didn't I kill him as Kratos?
Huh. Didnt know they looked similar
Bruh how did I not notice this before
Ares must've been a reincarnation of Demise's hatred
Even though it won't happen, it would be friggin' amazing to have Demise in Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. He won't be in as a playable character, due to Ganondorf. Demise would never replace Ganondorf as Ganondorf really represents the whole Zelda story and has been around since the beginning, while Demise is new. But... Demise is just so... badass! I mean, I just love everything about him! His design is awesome. Big, really strong, glowing eyes, black creepy sword, cape.... he truly looks like the King of Demons. And the fact that he was (possibly?) the beginning of Ganondorf (or, at least the evil that Ganondorf pocesses), is just plain awesome. IF we got to get another clone character in the new Smash games, Demise would be on top of my wishlist! :D
Demise is the one that started it all... Link in this game is the first one chronologically, Ganon is an incarnation of demise, so I think demise is the best villain in this franchise even though he was only in 1 game, he is the reason Ganon is even around
Perhaps have Ganondorf but also have Demise as an alternative skin for him?
JoshArtisticGenius
It would be so cool to have Demise and Toon Ganondorf in the game : the beginning and the end of this evil, two different gameplays, and they would represent both Skyward Sword and the recent Wind Waker HD.
Ganondorf is Demise. Watch the Hyrule Warriors trailer and look at Ganondorf's hair. Also there is tons more proof.
I'd take a Demise in Hyrule Warriors. Seems more likely and it would be awesome.
When I first saw demise I said "are you Ganondorf's Father?"
The answer to that question is “in a way, yes”
Demise returns winter 2020 on your Switch.
@@uberdawn Shuuuun the none-believer shuuuuuuun
\(owo)/
Best Zelda game imo. Controls aren't even that hard to handle. Music was amazing. Loved the story. Don't get me wrong the other Zelda games were good too but I think this one just takes the cake.
I got killed so many times after perfectly doing the first phase before I finally gave in and checked a walkthrough and realized Link use the lightning as well. That made the rest easy. I felt so stupid for not realizing it on my own.
That final blow will always be one of the most satisfying ways to finish a game ever.
this is eerily similar to the Nameless King fight in Dark Souls 3
Except he didn't rip my dick off and ride a dragon. I come to Demise when I have to take a break from crying from NK.
My thoughts exactly
demise is a big diaper baby compared to Nameless.
From Software gets a lot of inspiration from other games... Nameless King is very likely inspired by this boss.
and Oni Akuma
"And that's how Ganondorf was born!"
*Shuts children's book*
Any questions?
*Everyone's eye twitches in fear*
Me: can we hear it again?
No one is going to speak how powerful Demise is? He took on a full triforced Link who is arguably the most powerful Link using only his brute strength
Was not the real triforce actualy.
@@hk-4747 wait what ? What do you mean not the real Triforce
Zelda actualy states " if only it was the real triforce" when she gives it to link. Its only a symbolic marker , link did not have the triforce.
@@ioneocla6577 when link recieves the mark on his hand he does not actualy have a part of the triforce , when they wish demise to perish the triforce is not taken by link to the past to defeat him again. The triforce only fractures when an evil person tries to use it otherwise it is a completed object that must be touched to use. When link and demise fought it was links personal atributes alone that defeated him no aid from the triforce.
@@ioneocla6577 sorry not an evil person , an unballanced person. One must know all three parts to wield it power courage wisdom. Link learned these on his adventure zelda comments about it wich makes him the only one able to truly use it.
I just came for a reference for a drawing I’m working on and I don’t know what I was expecting but that was an immaculate run lmao great job!
10 years later facing Demise, now Skyward Sword on Switch!
One of the best final boss fights. Just truly amazing with the finishing blow being a high jump FATAL blow with the lighting coating over the Master sword delivering the final blow is soo fucking good.
i forgot how good this fight was
5:50 and just like that
It all began
This has the best final boss music out of any loz game ever, change my mind
100% agree
Game is great, but I thought he was too easy. Art style was killer though.
People keep saying Ganondorf could be stronger than Demise. That completely bull shit! It takes all Triforce parts for Link to beat him. Link only needs one for Ganon!
Maybe they were referring to the boss fights?
Here's my logic; Demise looks like Ganon on steroids. And did Demise sort of give Ganon his power? In the timeline, Skyward Sword is two games before Ocarina of Time. Demise promises Link the cycle would "repeat without end," and I think Ganon is the product of that promise. But I haven't played The Minish Cap, which is between Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time, so maybe I missed something.
Besides, if a scrawny Link can fight all those varying forms of Ganon with a sword his size, then a muscle man with a sword three times as large can too.
Martin Johnson ganondorf makes no appearence in MC it has no ties to SS.
Jonathan Reeves Thanks for the info.
Martin Johnson Right. Demise is the God who fought Hylia. The Gods > All humans (let's assume Ganon is a human or somewhat of that). That means, if Link beats him, (Demise wasn't at his full form I believe), he is the strongest Link hands down.
Whenever you fight Ganon, you're fighting Demise as well.
Even 10000 years later, you still have Demise present.
As long as Ganon reincarnates, so will Demise.
A never-ending cycle.
An endless cycle of hatred, gloom and malice.
I love the parallels between this fight, and the ganondorf fight in tears of the kingdom.
I will always remember I had 1/4th left of a heart only when landing the final blow. Shit was sick af
I wish that in the end, Demise got killed by the almighty power that he sought like the Horned King did.
Teacher: No fighting, class.
Back of the class:
Yes, all the time
Can't wait to fight this dude in HD this July!
Yeah, and tbh i just finished fighting him, currently 12:32pm and lets just say, it was the most badass fight ever in my book
Stay still furnace head! I want to toast me some marshmallows on your flaming hair!
🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
That's great!
Thank you so much🤣🤣🤣
Demise: *dies*
Ganon: You fool! I have 70 alternate accounts!
So the Master Sword's magic beam is basically a skyward strike?
This fight is so satisfying gameplay-wise, especially the second phase
I've only played the HD version, without motion controls, and the combat was so good
5:42 And so he does in Breath Of The Wild 2
Maybe...
Yes he does its him and im excited af.
Things never really stay dead in the Zelda universe
It’s Ganondorf in the trailer
I believe it's Ganon, but wouldn't it be sick if it was Demise?
See... the thing is, is that body, is wearing a garment very close to Demise's. I'd actually really like it if it turned out to be Demise himself and not just Ganon/Ganondorf.
