They finally got it right. It took the whole game, but the Zelda team got it. Yes, the final boss fight against Demise itself is the definition of epic. Link gets teleported to what must be the Sacred Realm (or at least the realm from which Zelda sends Adult Link back through time at the end of Ocarina of Time), your opponent looks to be twice your size, you fight in the middle of a lightning storm.
And, oh yeah, the sword fighting is pretty much like actual sword fighting.
Link swings, Demise defends, and in defending leaves you an opening to exploit. Plus, it doesn't leave its sword just hanging in its block, waiting for your counter attack, but actually withdraws and defends again seconds later.
Though, the second part of Skyward Sword's final boss does fall prey to having an attack elaborate enough to just wait out. Demise's electrified sword does massive damage to the Goddess Sheild and, unfortunately can't be countered directly.
Nonetheless, the fire-ringed final fight with Ganondorf from Twilight Princess has been topped, and now it's really anyone's guess as to how Zelda Wii U's boss will carry on with this upward trend in awesomeness.
