Demon Lord Ghirahim is revealed to be the spirit of Demise's Sword, much like Fi is for the Master Sword. There are some cool hints to his true identity before the reveal!
Ghirahim is such a great villain, he’s not only unsettling, but he has a personality unlike any other villain in the Zelda series

Like i get the similarity with the pattern, but it really doesn't make sense. And why would that blade ever serve link.

Ghirahim also makes note of the sword Link wields, saying that Link could only stand up to him because of that sword. The way he said it, though, could indicate that he was treating Link’s sword not as some tool, but as an equal in the most literal sense. Also, the knowledge that Ghirahim’s the Dark Master Sword brings new and disturbing context to him stealing the Goddess Sword from Link and even licking it during their first duel.
