Horde Battle

The Horde Battle is an event that occurs in Skyward Sword.

Features
The Horde Battle is a large-scale battle that occurs at the large spiral pit, which is found in the Sealed Grounds. The event is Ghirahim's attempt to prevent Link from interfering with his ritual, planned to use Zelda's soul to revive Demise. Ghirahim summons the hordes of demons that are under his command, including all types of Bokoblins, Moblins, and Stalfos. However, the demons fail from stopping Link from reaching Ghirahim before the ritual is complete.

Strategy
The Horde Battle, pits Link against hordes of demons, and involves five seperate waves. Each wave increases in difficulty and includes a larger variaty of enemies. Every wave ends with a barrier that will only open if Link defeats the enemies that are summoned, upon arrival at the barrier.


 * The first wave pits Link against a large number of regular Red Bokoblins, and ends with a barrier guarded by five Red Bokoblin Leaders.
 * The second wave includes weapon-wielding Red Bokoblins, and also features Bokoblins carrying bombs. The barrier at the end of the wave is protected by three Moblins that wield wooden shields.
 * The third wave includes Bokoblins carrying swords and bombs, but also features Bokoblin Archers. The barricade is guarded by a Blue Bokoblin that can run through the walls that block the hero's path.
 * The fourth wave includes both weapon/bomb wielding Bokoblins, Bokoblin Archers, and Red Bokoblin Leaders. The barricade is guarded by two Stalfos.
 * The final wave pits Link against every variety of Bokoblins, including bomb/weapon wielding Bokoblins, Bokoblin Archers, Blue Bokoblins, Red Bokoblin Leaders, and Moblins.

After Link completes both the Horde Battle and a subsequent battle with Ghirahim, he can replay the Horde Battle as an event in Lanayru's Lightning Round.
