It seems like whenever something vaguely threatens anything anywhere, Hylia just goes "OKAY WORLD REBOOT" and destroys everything.
Huh?

When she imprisoned Demise, she took almost all human life up to Skyloft and basically locked them up there.
When it looked like Ganon would win, she flooded the world.
The Goddess is like Malfunctioning Eddie from Futurama.
It's Din, Farora and Nayru who floods Hyrule, not Hylia. Remember Hylia isn't a Goddess anymore.
Gods are jerks is sort of the larger point here.
Yes, yes they are. Stupid too.

Mmmm speaking of all the Imprisoned hate, did anyone ever realize you could land on his head and strike the stake down in the other fights besides the 3rd one? I haven't tested it completely myself. But I ended up stumbling upon this while facing the 2nd Imprisoned during Lanaryu's trials. Knowing this makes the fight super easy and fast XD Provided it works for 1st Imprisoned too that is.
On that note, I didn't completely mind facing him so many times. The 2nd time was cool with Groose, and the 3rd time just flew by super quick. It wasn't that much of a chore at all. But if the above mentioned works . . . It's even more of a cake walk.
...Arrows?I think I genuinely did not like The Imprisoned fights. I felt they were really broken. I would probably think they would be a lot less shitty if I brought more than three arrows with me to the latter two.

Shield bash his attacks and you can get a hit or two in. I didn't know you could Skyward Strike so that's what I had to do.wait what this about a diferent strategy for demise? its a pretty straight forward fight, i'm not sure what i could have miss, i just paralysied him super skyward strike when i had the time and beat on him, and otherwise attack when there is an opening ...i can't think of any alternates please enlighten me?

It's not really a skyward strike. You're just charging the same lightning he's charging. The final boss was honestly kinda weak. The entire sequence of fights with Ghidumbo and then Demoron were kinda meh. They weren't awful, but it's really pretty low-tier in terms of Zelda final boss encounters. The final dungeon was great though.
There wouldn't be so much hate if the Imprisoned's appearance changed more significantly between each fight. Or if he didn't have vulnerable toes at all in battles 2 and 3, preventing people from using the "incorrect" strategy, and battle 3 had a different twist from the start (a tail? tentacles?) to make it play less similarly to battle 2.Yeah, that was why they introduced the Groosenator really... if you try and jump on him from a ledge above, or glide onto his head from a skydive, his new arms allow him to knock you off -- the Groosenator stuns him so he makes no shockwaves with his feet and is too dazed to use his arms to block your landing. I don't understand the hate for those battles to be honest, they were nice and tense, especially the one where he started flying! It gave the game the sense that the Imprisoned was evolving, becoming a bigger, nastier abomination (as stupid as it looks) -- when he later takes a smaller, humanoid form, I think that was a nice end-point. I loved all of the effects when it finally re-emerges following Ghirahim's summoning and slurps up some soul... the stormy, swirly effects reminded me of the way Nintendo represented the Universe collapsing in on itself in the trippy ending to Super Mario Galaxy.
I think it is a Skyward Strike, it launches the same kind of sword beam, only electrified.
Also, I think Skyward Sword has the best finale (Horde Battle, Ghirahim and Demise's fight) of the entire series.
And why Ghidumbo and Demoron? What do you have against them?

Breaking in while mowing down hordes of enemies with single swipes like a badass > breaking out from the usual collapsing structure.It'd have been cooler to trade the moblin gauntlet for some kind of escape-the-sealed-grounds type thing, something that might have evoked the escape from Ganon's Tower in OOT.
Even on Dolphin I didn't get any drops. Funnily enough the credits were the worst though, I had to watch them on Youtube.I was surprised the game didn't loose any FPS with so many enemies on screen.

Seriously, never in the series was there so many enemies at once.
And Ghirahim is fabulous. Demise IS an oversized Oni, I will agree with that. I did enjoyed his battle.
yeah, Skyward Sword ain't DS game quality. True ranking:

Ok, that's unfair. The DS has Four Swords, which is pretty great. It's just weird that for as great as the DS is, it has the worst Mario and Zelda games on it.

The Moblin gauntlet was clearly just a test run for the Wii-U Zelda launch title developed by Omega Force.

That part owned because it was such a rush and you felt like you had to cut through all these jackass pieces of trash right now to get down there.
Wait, if you guys didn't climb on top of the Imprisoned, then how did you beat him? It's absurdly difficult to hit his toes with your sword on the second form and especially the third form.

I didn't figure out the lightning strike in the last battle at first. I didn't figure out to play tennis with Ghirahim, and I didn't realize to jump on the imprisoned's head until the last hit of the last fight (when you're forced to).
I was prepared to call Demise one of the more difficult Zelda bosses. I managed to reduce the first part down to easiness by jumping back and then jump slashing forward each time. But then the next form would often get a block up before I could hit, and then hit me again out of that about half the time. Super easy with the skyward strike though, and cooler looking to boot. Speaking of cool looking, the final boss and especially his arena looked great. Up there with Wind Waker's ending scene as among the nicest looking parts of the series. Though that part in SS honestly didn't make much sense.
Is the Ghirahim finale in boss rush? Kinda looking forward to trying that one again some time.
So that's why so many people hate The Imprisoned. This is the way I fought it (thank you, boss rush mode): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nlPdw5H-Q0

To be fair, I didn't know that you could play projectile tennis with Ghirahim 3. He's still the best boss, though!
Well, in all 3 fights he has an attack you can knock back with your sword. The final battle with him he can throw a skyward strike at you that you can play tennis with.There's a tennis match in the Ghirahim battle? Wha?
Anybody noticed there's no monsters and the cats act normally at night in Skyloft from the moment you turn Batreaux into a human? Even the townsfolks are out at night now and even Batreaux himself is on the bridge leading to the houses.
Holy shit. Hero Mode is freaking awesome. I died 6 times in the 3rd Dungeon! Loving the adrenaline rush of relying on a couple of potions and your shield. 4 hits and you're dead, fantastic challenge!
