The End of Demise

Later, Ghirahim comes through the Gate of Time carrying Zelda. At this time, there are two Zeldas in existence: the one sealed in the crystal, and the one whom Ghirahim is carrying. <br><br> Link comes through the Gate of Time carrying the True Master Sword, and at some later point, Groose appears through the Gate of Time as well. <br><br> The Sealing Spike is not present in the pit when Link finds Ghirahim there, but it is possible that Ghirahim put it somewhere else when he began his ritual to separate Zelda's soul from her body. <br><br> Link fights his way through Ghirahim's horde of monsters. Ghirahim transforms into a dark being who resembles Fi, and he fights Link while continuing the ritual. Link defeats Ghirahim, but Ghirahim completes his ritual, and Demise is resurrected after consuming most of Zelda's soul. Zelda is cast aside, but Groose catches her and takes her back into the temple of the Sealed Grounds, where he and Impa watch over her. <br><br> Ghirahim is tranformed back into Demise's sword, gladly giving up his life to serve his master. <br><br> Link follows Demise into the realm that he created, and after a fierce battle, Link kills Demise with the True Master Sword. <br><br> Before Demise dies, he casts a curse that will make his hatred manifest in a mortal reincarnation who will fight against all future reincarnations of the Goddess and Hero. <br><br> Demise's residual consciousness is absorbed into the Master Sword and sealed away. Zelda's soul is released and returns to her body. Since Demise's consciousness still exists within the Master Sword, the Imprisoned becomes sealed again in the Sealed Grounds using the Sealing Spike that Hylia created when she first sealed Demise away.
