Story

Kingdom Hearts

Zero made a rather small appearance in the first Kingdom Hearts, only as a ghostly hallucination.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

"So that floating doggy thing can sniff out Heartless?"
—Roxas admiring Zero's Heartless-sensing capabilities.

When Roxas finds Jack and Zero in the Graveyard, he is amused to see that the ghostly dog can sense the Heartless's presence around him with his nose. Showing Jack a Carrier Ghost that was hiding in one, Zero is rewarded by a happy Jack while Roxas looks on. Roxas realizes that if he gives Zero a bone, the dog would reveal the Heartless' hiding places. Zero gladly complies, and Roxas completes his missions with ease.

Kingdom Hearts II

In Kingdom Hearts II, Zero appears yet again. Floating around in Dr. Finkelstein's lab after his re-encounter with Sora, he happily barks at the Keyblade master when spoken to.

Appearance

Zero is a ghostly dog that appears to be made of a white sheet, much like a stereotypical ghost. Like Pluto, he has basset hound-esque floppy ears. His "eyes" are just empty holes in the sheet. Zero's snout is very long and thin, and his upper jaw curls upward at the tip. His nose is a small jack-o-lantern, and his collar is a faded brown color.

Trivia

  • While Zero is more of a white-gray in coloration in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, he is a sky blue in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
  • Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is the first time Zero has been shown to have Heartless-tracking capabilities.
  • Unlike in past games, Zero's movement in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is represented by the sound of blowing wind.
  • When you run up to Zero in Kingdom Hearts, he would disappear and you would go right through him, when he was able to interact with Sora in Kingdom Hearts II.
