Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round

The Lighting Round is a mini-game that occurs in Skyward Sword.

Features
The Lighting Round is a challenge presented by the Thunder Dragon to Link. The objective is to either complete all 11 (12 in hero mode) boss battles or all of the Silent Realm challenges. The Horde Battle is available to replay in Hero Mode.

Boss Battles
If you choose to replay boss battles, you choose the first battle, then the Thunder Dragon will choose the next battle. Depending on how well you performed in the battle, and who you fought, the next battle will either be easier or harder. The recommend strategy is to pick a battle that you find challenging, so the next battle won't be a total surprise. If you beat the record time, you automatically earn 50 Rupees. All you are able to use are the items that you would have had at that time in the game and your shield.

Please note that if you die you will only keep the rupees that you earned by beating your best times.

Silent Realm
This is much more simple than the boss battles. Just complete any of the challenges and earn anywhere from 5 to 100 rupees depending how well you preformed.
