#My art#Skyward Sword#Legend of Zelda#Ghirahim#Yes hello hi this headcanon/theory has lived in my head rent free for a decade and I finally needed to get it out somehow#So here is a sketchy ''what if'' comic#Because I do often wonder whatever happened to Ghirahim after SS-- when he disappeared from Demise's hand did he just perish?#Did he flee? What happened? Is he out there somewhere still?#Well that's not the main point of this#The main point of this is me wondering if Ghirahim was created by Hylia#The thought brought on from minor things like Ghirahim looking like nothing else Demise spawned into existence#(Seriously even Batreaux looks more like a ''Demon Lord'' than this twink does)#Or Ghirahim knowing when and where Zelda was to bring her down to the surface#Or just me finding it unlikely Demise knew how to create a living sword and how to make it nearly identical to one that didn't exist yet#To other minor things like Hylia holding a one-sided blade in the opening cutscene as she sends Skyloft to the skies#Like sure the sword she could've been holding could be the Goddess Sword and she just somehow sent it to Skyloft after dealing with Demise#But also that one-sided sword aside from the handle does look quite a bit like Ghirahim's sword#(Also I do wonder how the Goddess Sword got to Skyloft if Hylia still had it when she was on the surface fighting Demise but okay)#Or how usually when someone gets stabbed by the Bane of Evil they die from it (like Ganondorf in TP or WW)#And yet somehow Ghirahim survived being stabbed in his heart (?) three fucking times#If the headcanon that only true evil could be hurt by the Master Sword is true then what does that say about Ghirahim#Lastly we do know that good beings can be corrupted by evil to do bad things. We see Ghirahim do this to Koloktos in the Cistern#So uh yeah#What if Hylia created Ghirahim. What if he was stolen and corrupted by Demise and thus replaced by an uncorruptable human + blade#What if he was both Hylia's sword and her original chosen hero#Is that why he knew where Zelda was and had an idea of how to track her down on surface#And... is he still out there?#While I did draw this as a ''what if'' post-SS comic I would be more interested in seeing this scenario explored in the future#As in I'd genuinely be interested in seeing a game about a Link in the distant future finding him (sleeping in his sword form)#And getting rid of Demise's corruption (if that's even possible) (Who knows) (Demise's evil runs deep. Perhaps he can't be saved)
