Seems plausible, even a demi god esque sword being needs 'friends', even though I can easily see him slaughtering them once he has his vengeance.

Especially considering every other demigod like being can be taken out if you have enough archers trained on it.

Ah, so she's a fake but (even outside the battlefield) she has powers on the level of the sages?

Her abilities are more so related to the Wizzrobe then the Sages in that she has control over natural elements and is bound by the laws of physics, where's the Sages have control over specific elements and can use them to transcend the laws of physics into something more spiritual. The Sages forced the spirit into the sword while Hylia endowed it with its physical superiority to other weapons.

Anyway, speaking of the Wizzrobes, if they are unlocking the Hylians magic and not necessarily for selfish gains (seeing as they are in service of the goddesses and have worked with the sages) does this mean we will see more Hylian units among them?
Unless I'm mistaken, so far there's just one and they use swords...

Maaaaybe.

Ah, so I see Ghirahim will be in the game without being an epic-fail. As quenya asked though, what faction will he be a part of? Will he just be a mercenary that can be added to any army or is he faction-specific? Will he have his own unique army in the campaign to hunt down the sages or will he be a dungeon-boss type unit?

He will use a variety of units in the campaign to hunt down Link, the Sages, Hylia, and any other individuals he's marked as an enemy. If you are playing as a faction that either has no connection to his targets or is at war with his targets, there's a possibility he'll service you in exchange for helping him accomplish his goal.

Maybe Ghirahim is an anti-link of some sort, in that he appears after Link joins a faction, and then he joins the strongest faction currently at war with that one? I mean, it could be possible.

Actually a pretty good guess as to how he appears.

Gotcha.

Maaaaybe.

Oh-oh!

He will use a variety of units in the campaign to hunt down Link, the Sages, Hylia, and any other individuals he's marked as an enemy.

How's that going to work? Can you make his A.I. go specifically after certain units/settlements?
Or does he perhaps move against certain factions only if determined heroes have joined them?

If you are playing as a faction that either has no connection to his targets or is at war with his targets, there's a possibility he'll service you

[DiddlyDark]

The plot thickens.... not in that kind of way, though.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who did a double take on that sentence.

[Duke Serkol]

Seriously did you word it like that deliberately Neph?

[Mjolnr839]

Seriously did you word it like that deliberately Neph?

That disturbs me almost as much as Neph's wording.

[DiddlyDark]

I believe this will help clear your collective minds.

Or, if you prefer a more, shall I say, stacked alternative.

Please be careful what you link to this site.


Alrighty then, i'll make sure to not do anything similar to that again.

@Agent51, Duke Serkol, and Mjolnr839

Seriously guys? I wasn't even thinking along those lines when reading Neph's post until you pointed it out. Now I need DiddlyDark's mind bleach, as that thought is beyond sickening. I'll be in the recovery ward if you need me.

I hate you. I hate me. I hate... the world for spawning that image.

This image pretty much sums up why Ghirahim made me laugh at him rather then fear him.

[Duke Serkol]

Yeah, the animation in the first image was creepy, the one in the second went too far and ended up being just silly.


...you know, I realize now that if Ghirahim is given glowy eyes instead of human like ones, a lot of his creepiness will probably be lost
And the same may also apply to his arms. I mean, without those he can't do this nor this. And that is a big deal of his character (edit: not that I expect him to block and hold swords by hand in this game, I realize that would be hell to pull off, but it is an ability we have come to associate to him in our minds... though he could maybe do it in cutscenes?).

[Xebenkeck]

I kinda wonder though why Ghirihim is the "anti-link" when Dark Link seems well more suited to that role, but w/e maybe Neph has bigger plans.

[Duke Serkol]

I imagine Ghirahim is really the anti-Fi. It just so happens that Fi and Link tend to gravitate toward one another.

Haha! Ghirahim and Fi will kill everyone by dancing with each other! Well, atleast you found a good use for all that senseless dancing.

[quenya]

OMG!!!!! So epic!! Will Ghirahim's laughing and Fi's beeping be their sound effects in-game eventually?

[VGF254]

BEST THING I EVER SAW!!!
