He made his ''Kingdom Hearts'' series debut in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''; he later appeared in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.

| |
| When [[Roxas]] finds Jack and Zero in the Graveyard during [[Mission 45]], he is amused to see that the ghostly dog can sense nearby Heartless with his nose. Zero reveals a hidden [[Carrier Ghost]] to Jack, who happily rewards him. Roxas learns by watching this that if he gives Zero a [[bone]], the dog will reveal other concealed Heartless. Using this tactic to his advantage, Roxas completes his mission in Halloween Town with ease. Later, Roxas repeats this tactic to complete [[Mission 52]].

| Sora encounters Zero again, aimlessly floating around Dr. Finkelstein's lab. When spoken to, Zero happily barks at Sora and his friends.

| ==Design==
| |
| Zero is a ghostly dog who closely resembles a white sheet, much like a stereotypical ghost. However, in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Zero appears to be a light blue in coloration, contrasting his usual, white appearance. Like [[Pluto]], Zero has {{w|Basset hound|basset hound}}-esque, floppy ears. His "eyes" are just empty holes and his snout is very long and thin. Zero's upper jaw curls upward at its tip, and his nose is tipped with a small jack-o'-lantern. Zero's collar is a faded brown color.

|
| |
| While Zero moves silently in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the sound of blowing wind can be heard when Zero moves.

|
| When Sora runs up to Zero in ''Kingdom Hearts'', he disappears, causing the Keyblade wielder to pass right through him. However, Sora can interact with Zero in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
| | ''The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)'' |
|
| |
|
| ==Origin==
| | ''Jack's ghost dog. He comes out of his grave whenever Jack calls, and never gets tired of playing fetch with his master.'' |
| Zero first appeared in Tim Burton's 1993 film ''The Nightmare Before Christmas''. In the movie, Zero spends a majority of his time at the side of his owner, Jack Skellington. Zero is present when Jack finds the door to Christmas Town, and due to his glowing nose, he also becomes the leader of Jack's team of skeletal reindeer on Christmas Eve when Sally tries to use a thick fog to stop Jack from taking off to deliver presents. At the film's conclusion, as Jack and Sally kiss atop Curly Hill, Zero flies off into the night sky and transforms into a star.

| {{KH2}}
| | * In Kingdom Hearts, Sora could not directly talk to Zero since he was a ghostly illusion that only appeared when Sora was nearby. He seems to be able to be talked to in Kingdom Hearts II, though he does not say anything other than his dog bark. |
