Like everything else, Nintendo does E3 a little differently than other brands. This year, in particular, the company is taking a very different approach from what it’s done in the past. Normally, Nintendo would hold either a live press conference or a “digital event” to show off its upcoming games and hardware, but this year, the Japanese company is doing away with a press conference entirely. Instead, Nintendo plans to stream day-long Treehouse Live showcases on Tuesday and Wednesday of E3. These live streams can be easily watched via Nintendo’s official E3 page, or on Twitch.
Nintendo will hold its first live event at 9 a.m. PT on Tuesday, June 14. Expect to see well-known Nintendo executives such as Reggie Fils-Aime and Bill Trinen talking to members of the Nintendo development staff about Pokémon Sun and Moon, then spending the rest of the day unveiling gameplay from the new Legend of Zelda title that’s coming to the Wii U and so-called Nintendo NX. A second stream will take place the following day at 10 a.m. PT, which will further detail various 3DS games slated to launch this year, as well as a Q&A with the Pokémon Go developers.

In terms of iconic pop culture heroes, Link is up there with Luke Skywalker, Frodo Baggins, and Superman. While Benjamin Evan Ainsworth has proven himself capable enough to lead The Legend of Zelda's cast, adapting Link’s character for the big screen is a challenge. For much of the Zelda franchise, Link is depicted as a silent protagonist who serves as a stand-in for the player. However, that doesn't mean Link isn't a unique character. Each version of Link has a distinct story, but they are all known for their incredible courage, loyalty, and dedication to protecting the innocent. However, he has also shown many times that he can be silly, reckless, rageful, guilty, and tempted by greed. Link doesn’t necessarily have to speak in the film to appeal to audiences. However, he just can't be a one-dimensional fantasy hero. We have to see how multifaceted a person Link is as he grows and reacts to everything, carrying such a heavy burden as the Hero of Hyrule. Zelda should share the adventure with Link
