London, October 2011. Thousands are crowded into the Hammersmith Apollo, one of the city s most famous theatrical venues, to hear a concert of music commemorating the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda. It s an emotional night. Host Zelda Williams recalls how much the series she was named after meant to her growing up, and her voice audibly cracks at the memory. As Koji Kondo plays a delicate piano solo of Grandma s Theme from The Wind Waker, grown men can be seen dabbing their eyes. Kondo rises from his seat and the audience stands, too, applauding wildly, a number of them clad in the familiar green tunic, tights and pointed hat of their hero.

Our competitors are U.S. companies,” said Klaus-Peter Schulenberg, CEO of CTS Eventim, in an interview with German business magazine
Capital in 2018. He was criticizing a decision by Germany’s competition watchdog regarding a merger of his company with one of the country’s leading concert promoters, Four Artists. He was explaining how the German authorities were misguided in only considering the German market in their decision, seeing that the touring business was international, and U.S. companies also operating in the country were able to achieve completely different economies of scale. A company that was operating across all of Europe, like CTS Eventim, but was considered on a national level, was clearly at a disadvantage, he said.
