Should Nintendo be striving to be the example on social issues and diversity or merely follow? The second topic we have this week is all about Christmas, memories of the past and looking towards the current season in terms of buying for relatives. The musical selections this week are from the Twilight Symphony album by the Zelda Re-Orcestrated group.
