Does Warriors know Fi? And, more importantly, does he know Ghirahim? Not just know of them, but had a conversation with them, interacted with them for extended periods of time?

This is a great question, thanks for asking!

During the events of Hyrule Warriors, Wars is very dependent on his Zelda as his Master. He does not go anywhere without her, he does not speak unless he’s answering a question or giving a warning, and he ONLY follows orders. He is pretty much the same as Fi was in Skyward Sword.

Fi, during the events of Hyrule Warriors, is the same way. Since there isn’t really a Link for her to serve (Wars has the Hero’s Spirit but no free will), she takes up Zelda as her Master as well. She is, after all, the descendant of her creator- Hylia’s blood pulses in her veins.

Wars knew Fi. They served the same Master and they fought on the same side of the War of Eras. He was around her pretty much constantly. Although… they rarely had the opportunity to speak. Neither of them, at that point in their lives, could function without orders. Unless Zelda were to physically tell them both to converse, they wouldn’t. And even if she did… what did they have to talk about? Whatever Zelda told them to.

(Usually battle strategies)

Still, Wars couldn’t help but wonder about Fi. Endlessly curious, though he never disobeyed orders. It wasn’t until he meets Sky (much later on) that his curiosity is sated, and he holds a quiet sword in his hands. Gone. The pain in Sky’s eyes in echoed in his own, reverberating through his metallic form. He never had the strength to know her- and now he never will.

Ghirahim??? Wars never interacted with except for in battle. Wielded by Zelda, he fought the Demon Lord more than once. He viewed the opposing Sword Spirit as he did anything else- data to analyze, patterns to predict. He never had any opinions on Ghirahim- didn’t have any opinions on anything. It’s strange, though, Wars found himself thinking during their last battle. Ghirahim was unpredictable. Wars’ analyses always came up short, never able to pin him down. Ghirahim… was unlike any Sword Spirit that Wars had ever known.

Again, it’s only when he meets Sky that he truly understands Ghirahim. How Sky flinches if he teleports nearby. How Sky’s eyes harden as he studies the diamond inlaid in Wars’ chest. Sometimes, the Skyloftian will tell him stories of the Demon Lord when he tells him about Fi. It’s rare, a quiet moment between just the two of them, and Wars finally understands.

The uneasiness in his chest when he faced Ghirahim was not a flaw in his design. It was human. And as he and Sky exchange horror stories, something inside of Wars cracks.

He… feels. Wholly and unapologetically.

refs for my skyward sword prequel thing that ive been thinkin about for a whileee...

most of the details are in my head but there's a little bit about them on my artfight page ^_^

#ss prequelverse #au #ghirahim #demise #skyward sword #the legend of zelda #loz ss #loz #honestly i think the master sword should be a little smaller. i think its even smaller in the game #but you get the gist #he has sword upgrades like fi #and like how the mastersword changes slightly in appearance from game to game.. #he has the ability to slightly change over time too ^^ #(into something a little easier for me to draw LOLOLLOL) #also in MY opinion this is less of an au and more of like. pre canon #like all of my normal ghirahim fanart/hcs have this as a backstory if that makes sense

[casiavium]

you may be thinking "but I do draw him as a weird bug eyed freak/but his plastic barbie doll look is canon to hyrule warriors". quick. how tall is he compared to Link

#im joking I do this too #he's HARD to DRAW #bitchass sword boy #I love how no one draws him the same at all but he's still so recognizable #ghirahim #skyward sword

[unironicallycringe]

man I'm just gonna say that it's incredibly fucking weird to walk onto a stranger's blog, project your own predatory age headcanons onto a character with no canon age, and then decide that means the blogger condones it.

like?? my dude?? the only person talking about that is you because it's your headcanon?

"you're bad because I think of this ageless character as a 30yo being paired with a teen" well I sure goddamn don't and I didn't need to hear that shit! it's not only extremely inappropriate, it's creepy as fuck! so like, maybe do some self-reflecting on why you decided that a stranger should abide by your headcanon, and maybe also stop doing that.

So- I had a question regarding someone else’s question on Sky doing a duel wield on Fi and (I think it was Wars, forgive me if it isn't-) but since Ghirahim was left in the past at the end of Skyward Sword, will he be somewhere in the feature? If he's no longer alive, will his sword fragments (like an artifact) be somewhere in anyone else’s Time Era like a museum, or will it be in a forgotten temple for the chain to find? Would Sky be able to see the so-called “Red string of fate” that would lead him to the sword?

If so: How would Sky react to seeing Ghirahim’s sword? Would he be scared and immediately get away from it? Would he try and fix it outta guilt for how Ghirahim’s fate turned out to be? Or would he feel sorry/ nothing at all for how Ghirahim turned out?

But-

If Ghirahim was still alive but just badly wounded that would take X amount of time to heal (Like the Master Sword did in Tears of the Kingdom) do you think he would actively try and seek out Sky to end his life for revenge for his fallen master? (If so would he be close to ending Sky but would still be too weak to actually properly kill him and just end up nearby waiting for a chance to end him?)

Or: Would Sky find/ spot Ghirahim and offer to wield his sword in order to save him, or, would Sky give the sword spirit mercy and put him out of his misery and finally put him to rest? (If so, how would Wars [or whoever it was rip my memory] react to seeing Sky put another sword spirit out of their misery even if they were badly wounded/ hella sick?)

Sorry, this is so long! I wanted to be clear on what I was asking and what your thoughts were based on these two scenarios!

I have to be… really, really careful with what I say here.

First off, I am a Skyward Sword FANATIC. I’m obsessed with Skyward Sword and have been since I was quite literally seven years old. There’s a reason that the majority of my ideas are about Sky. So this is gonna have some Skyward Sword spoilers!! Just putting that warning in!!

At the very end of Skyward Sword, when Demise is dying, his sword is the first thing to be destroyed. He stuck it into the ground to lean on, and then it literally disintegrated. Into dust. Gone. Demise watched it disappear and then cursed Sky, and then he himself started to disintegrate. After all that, the dust the Demise became was absorbed into the Master Sword to be destroyed over time. Fi did not say how long it would take for Demise’s remains to be destroyed, but she was pretty clear in her purpose.

My entire life, I’ve kind of operated in the belief that Ghirahim was also absorbed into the Master Sword and destroyed. But maybe that’s not the case? Maybe the remains of his sword still lie within the Battlefield of Demise, where the Goddess’s power cannot reach. Maybe he’s recovering, biding his time, maybe he has been rebuilding himself for thousands of years. Maybe he did get absorbed, but has not been destroyed (as he is not Demise). Maybe he’s just trapped within the Master Sword, weakened and shattered, strapped at the side of the unknowing Chosen Hero.

Bro, I can’t tell you what exactly Demise did to Ghirahim. When he pulled the sword out of his chest??? And then took his spirit into the sword??? How Ghirahim laughed??? That traumatized me as a kid and it’s still burned into my memory.

It also traumatized Sky. I’m not going to reveal all of my cards right now. But I can tell you- what you mentioned about guilt- that’s a HUGE part of how Sky remembers Ghirahim. Sky hated Ghirahim. But he truly believes that he did not deserve the fate that befell him. Sky just stood there. He stood and watched as Demise- did Demise kill him? He heard that manic laugh, the silence that followed it. Silent in a way it never was with Ghirahim. It still echos in his ears. He has nightmares about it.

In all honesty, if Ghirahim were still alive, he’d make it his goal not only to get revenge on Sky, but to destroy Fi. After all, the remains of his Master are sealed away inside of her, and if Ghirahim is still living, then there’s a chance that Demise is, as well.

And if Sky were to ever see Ghirahim/Ghirahim’s sword, his first reaction would be fear. And what is Sky’s fear?? It becomes power. Sky is the Godkiller, and he will not be underestimated again. Ghirahim… will not underestimate him again. The fight would be real. Ghirahim’s not playing anymore.

Neither is Sky.

This is all hypothetical, of course. I can make no promises about Ghirahim’s status. Is he alive? Is he trapped? Is he coming back? Does he exist only in Sky’s nightmares? The world may never know.

(I know)

The main thing I want to focus on here is how his memories of Ghirahim affect his relationship with Warriors. Sky has Ghirahim nightmares… a lot. And I don’t want to minimize the pain of the rest of the Chain, but Sky’s nightmares are objectively the worst. He gets them frequently, but the thing that really makes them worse than the others’ is that sometimes, he genuinely can’t tell if he’s just having a nightmare or seeing a prophecy. He doesn’t know what’s real or not and that sucks.

He has a nightmare one night. He’s fighting Ghirahim- Sword Spirit form Ghirahim (like the final battle)- and he thrusts his sword into the diamond on his chest. Ghirahim would cry out as the diamond cracked and broke, as his form wavered. Sky had won. But then he’d blink, and suddenly it’s not Ghirahim’s chest that Sky had stabbed his sword into, it’s Wars’. And Sky watches as his friend shatters around his blade.

When he wakes, it’s with tears on his cheeks and nausea swimming in his stomach. He can’t talk to Wars that day, but he finds himself staring at that diamond. Wondering if the Goddess had shown him that dream as a warning.

Is… Is Sky the monster?

With Fi gone and Ghirahim… gone, the only Sword Spirit in his life is Warriors, and he clings to Warriors for dear life. He’s so scared that his new friend will meet the same fate as the other two: either willingly going dormant or forcefully becoming a weapon. Sky will do anything to keep Warriors safe- safe from a fate that the Sword Spirit doesn’t even know about.

I know this probably didn’t answer your question. I want to be careful not to spoil too much. And also I got very caught up in my rambling. But yeah, if Ghirahim came back, Sky would fight him because Ghirahim would not give him any other choice.

If Ghirahim were too hurt/sick to fight, Sky would probably still kill him just to be done with it. Warriors would be surprised, for sure, but he trusts Sky. (And he knows how awful Ghirahim is).

Sky would never side with Ghirahim and Ghirahim’s soul purpose is to revive his Master. Which means… going after Fi, which Sky will not stand for.

Sky does feel guilty, but that manifests itself in how he interacts with Warriors, not sympathy for Ghirahim.
