**Link's [[DeathGlare death glares]] in general!



* Pulling the Master Sword out of its stone is something Link has done in many, many Zelda games to date. In Skyward Sword however, it is actually YOU, the player, who literally does the pulling thanks to Wii Motion Plus. And it is a glorious moment.

* Zelda. Zelda herself is a CMOA. After [[spoiler: falling from the sky into a world she wasn't entirely sure existed, she managed to get herself through a monster-strewn woods while being actively persued, fight her way through the Skyview temple alone and ''unarmed'', and make it through Eldin Volcano. Yes, she ended up getting captured and would have been caught by Ghirahim if it wasn't for Impa, but the fact that she made it there in the first place is pretty amazing.]] And, even after all that, she's still [[spoiler: willing to sacrifice herself for the good of the entire world. You know someone is pretty damn amazing when even [[BigBad Demise]] gives some reluctant props.]]

** Additionally, the final strike on [[spoiler: Demise]]. Link takes a flying leap into the air, spinning while lightning strikes his sword, then slams down into the middle of the biggest bad's chest. A moment later, lightning flashes in the background. Epic.

* The fight with Koloktos, which is one of the best boss fights in Zelda history. You even have to use a {{BFS}} it itself uses in a similar manner to using weapons dropped by enemies in ''TheWindWaker'', a feature absent since then.
** The battle is very reminiscent of an [[TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Iron]] [[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Knuckle]] fight. Link goes up against a large armoured humanoid with a [[{{BFS}} massive weapon]], and they're both pretty powerful and a lot of fun to fight. Add in a touch of [[TheLegendOfZeldaWindWaker being able to use its own weapon against it]], and the sheer epicness of the battle (as well as the [[AwesomeMusic/TheLegendOfZelda awesome music]]), and one can see why Koloktos is regarded as the BestBossEver.

** [[spoiler: The DeathGlare he sends the storming army of Bokoblins sent shivers down my spine. That shot alone justified the choice to make the graphics a halfway point between WW and TP. He looks as badass as in TP, but that's the sort of facial expression that can only be properly shown via cell-shading]].

** At this point, [[spoiler: a single strike of the Master Sword can send three-four Bokoblins ''flying'': these are the same Bokoblins which were probably a challenge in the early part of the game when most player are still learning to use the motion+ controls. This makes this scene the best one to display Link's [[TookALevelInBadass growth in strenght and skill]], which is helped by the fact that Ghirahim himself does not even troes to hide to his ''own troops'' that he is sending them to a certain death]]
