“	Oh, but listen to me. I'm being positively uncivil. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Demon Lord who presides over this land you look down upon, this world you call the surface. You may call me Ghirahim.	„
	~ Ghirahim to Link

“	...Enough of this foolishness... I am Ghirahim, Demon Lord! It shouldn't matter how powerful your sword is, you are still nothing... Not just a human... A human child! And yet you prevail! You filthy scamp! You have awakened a wrath that will burn for eons! I swear to you, whatever it takes, I will drag you into an eternity of torment!	„
	~ Ghirahim on his second loss to Link

“	For you, boy, I've prepared a most appropriate and humiliating death. I even have a pet name for it - I call it, the endless plunge!.. I'll delight in casting your body into this pit and snuffing out the flame of your life! Your broken body will serve as fine sustenance for the demon king!	„
	~ Ghirahim, in his rage at letting Link live before
