Let me quote the Zelda Wiki here:
"Before spirits and life existed, the three Golden Goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore descended upon the chaos that was the world at that time. After forming Hyrule, the three Golden Goddesses once again departed for the heavens, and a symbol of their power, the Triforce, was created at the point where they left the world. This ultimate power gave anyone who possessed it the ability to shape reality and fulfill any desire. They also specifically designed it so that it could never be used by their own kind, as a way of giving hope to the mortal beings of the world. Before departing, the Golden Goddesses left this symbol of ultimate power in the hands of a goddess named Hylia, ordering her to safeguard the relic and granting her the authority to preside over the realm.
For an age, Hylia ruled over the then-unnamed land that was then known only as "the Surface," presiding over the various races in the world at that time. This era of peace ended, however, when a fissure opened in the earth, connecting the underground to the Surface. From this fissure poured an army of demons led by their ruler, the Demon King known as Demise. Demise sought to obtain the ultimate power that Hylia guarded and use it to rule over the entire world. To this end, he ordered his armies to destroy all in their path in an attempt to take the Triforce from Hylia for his own. The armies of Demise caused many misfortunes as they burned forests and killed all in their path at the behest of their master.
Hylia, fearing for her people, gathered all the surviving Hylians on an outcropping of rock she cut away from the land around her temple that contained the Statue of the Goddess. Using her power, Hylia raised the newly-formed Isle of the Goddess into the Sky, sending it beyond the clouds to keep her people out of Demise's reach. This floating island along with others became the new home of the Hylians, which came to be known as Skyloft during the Era of the Sky. She also created a cloud barrier to separate the realm of the Sky from the Surface and thus prevent Demise's armies from pursuing her people. In secret, Hylia also sent the Triforce into the heavens with the Hylians, concealing the portals to its three parts within the hidden Sky Keep that was located beneath the Statue of the Goddess. Through Hylia's design, the way into the Sky Keep, and thus the road to the Triforce, would open when her chosen hero would come in need of it. She also secretly enshrined her sword inside the Statue of the Goddess to await the coming of her chosen hero. Her personal harp was also sent away with Skyloft to be used again one day when the need would arise.
Once her people and the Triforce were safely beyond Demise's reach, the Goddess Hylia joined forces with the remaining races dwelling on the Surface and entered into a fierce battle with Demise and his army of demons. It was said that Hylia had a chosen hero during this time that served and protected her from harm, and that she gave him her personal Sailcloth as a sign of honor. Although only briefly mentioned in the game, Hylia's chosen hero plays a significant role in the Skyward Sword manga. Though what truly happened to her chosen hero is unknown, his existence would continue to be known long after the end of his lifespan. After a long and bloody battle, Hylia succeeded in subduing Demise, driving him into a prison in the former location of the Statue of the Goddess from whence Skyloft was taken. She cast him into this prison and placed a great seal on it meant to keep him locked away where he could do no further harm to the Surface or its inhabitants. With Demise locked away, the battle for control of the Surface was seemingly won and what remained of his armies were left scattered and dispersed across the land. Stripped of his true physical form due to the seal that now bound him, Demise was forced into the form of an abomination capable of great destruction should he ever escape from his new prison beneath what came to be known as the Sealed Grounds."
It is entirely possible that Ghirahim was Demise's first in command in this ancient battle and that he survived despite his master's defeat and aimed to resurrect him in the events of Skyward Sword.

And even if that never happens, there's always this:
"According to the English translation of the Trident inscription in Four Swords Adventures, the Trident houses an "evil spirit". This quote has been re-examined however, and seems to have been mistranslated."
They could easily take this back and make it canon, bringing Ghirahim back as the Trident.
