Today is June 8th, 2010. In exactly one week Nintendo will take the stage at E3 and unveil not only their new portable console (the 3DS) and the Wii vitality sensor, but also their mysterious new MotionPlus-exclusive Zelda game for Wii.

As one more (and probably last) reminder, Nintendo’s media briefing is June 15th at 9:00 a.m. PT. That’s pacific time, so click here to find out exactly when that is in your time zone.

You don’t need to be at E3 in person to experience Nintendo’s announcements as they happen, because Nintendo has setup an official website where you can watch the show live. Just visit http://e3.nintendo.com on June 15th at 9 am PT and you’re good to go! Of course we’ll be reporting all the Zelda news as soon as possible with our own reactions too, so don’t forget to visit Zelda Chronicles that day as well.

To pass the time until some big E3 news or leaks, here’s a few Zelda related news stories from the past week that we didn’t think warranted a full separate post:

GameTrailers

Bonus Round E3 2010 Preview (Part 3) – Nintendo at E3
• Geoff Keighley, Michael Pachter, Jeff Gerstmann and Andy McNamara predict Nintendo’s E3 2010 press conference. Everything from the 3DS, vitality sensor, “Wii HD” and Zelda Wii are discussed, but honestly nothing new is talked about and they aren’t exactly Nintendo experts.

Zelda Dungeon

Magic vs. Technology in Zelda
• An article on magic and technology in the Zelda series.

Zelda Wii Rumor Opinions
• Axle the Beast from ZD shares his opinion on the recent Zelda Wii rumors in this video.

Why Zelda Wii Should Incorporate GCN/Classic Controller Option!
• Zelda Dungeon and its users discuss why there should be traditional controller support in Zelda Wii. It’s completely pointless to talk about this in my opinion as Wii MotionPlus cannot be mapped to regular button presses like the original Wii controller can, meaning it’s near impossible for Nintendo to offer multiple control options for Zelda Wii.

Zelda Universe

Master Sword Scams
• Zelda Universe warns potential buyers that the life-sized Master Sword replicas on eBay are a scam.

Bank of Hyrule: The Great DSi Giveaway
• Write your own Zelda Wii story idea to enter for a chance to win a Nintendo DSi system from Zelda Universe.

Zelda Informer

Zelda Wii… Cosplay?
• Someone actually cosplays a Zelda Wii character already (hint: it’s not Link).

Give Ganondorf a Chance: A Look at Villains in the Zelda series
• An article on the villains from the Zelda series and how they should improve for Zelda Wii.

How Gaming is (not) influencing Zelda
• An article on how other games are not influencing Zelda and how Zelda (and Nintendo) is unique.

Zelda Chronicles

Video Update
• Just a quick note, I apologize for not posting a “video update” like I scheduled to on June 5th. I won’t waste your time on the reasons why, but rest assured I’ll definitely have one ready after E3.
