Summary
Zazen is not meditation, not any form of meditation, and not an intellectual study: it is a simple physical practice. Some use koans or Buddhist stories to meditate upon, thinking about the koan story while sitting in order to get free from some kind of thinking, but these techniques are not part of the authentic practice.
