Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round

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

Features
The Lighting Round is a challenge the Thunder Dragon Lanayru presents to Link. The objective is to either complete all 11 (12 in Hero Mode) boss battles or all of the Silent Realm challenges. The battle against Demise is only re-playable in Hero Mode.

Boss Battles
If Link chooses to replay boss battles, he must face all of the bosses in succession of each other without the use of bottled items. The only items Link will be able to use are the items he had at the time he fought each boss and whichever shield he is currently equipped with. At the start of Lightning Round, the young hero will be able to choose the first boss battle. Then the Thunder Dragon will choose the next battle depending on how well Link performed in the battle.

If Link beats the record time, Lanayru will automatically reward him with 50 Rupees. If Link dies, he will only receive the Rupees he has earned by beating his best times.

Silent Realm
If Link chooses the Silent Realm challenge, he will have the option of which Silent Realm to start with. The young hero can earn between 5 to 100 Rupees depending on his performance.
