Zoom is learned at level 13, and requires 8 {{MP}} to use. In all versions of the game prior to [[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake\|HD-2D]], Zoom only returns the player back to [[Tantegel]] Castle.

	==={{DQ2}}===		==={{DQ2}}===
	Zoom is learned by The [[Prince of Cannock]] at Level 10. In the original versions of the game, Zoom would only return the party to the location where they last saved their game. This was remedied in the [[Cell phone]] versions, and now the player can choose from a list of towns and locations, provided they visited them once. It costs 8 {{MP}} to use in the original versions, 6 {{MP}} in the {{GBC}} version, and 1 {{MP}} in the Cell phone remake.		Zoom is learned by The [[Prince of Cannock]] at Level 10.

			==={{DQ1&2HD}}===
			===={{DQ1HD}}====
			Zoom is still learned at level 13. Like other contemporary releases, the spell can be used outdoors and indoors. Also, it lets the player teleport to most specific locations on the map instead of just Tantegel.

			===={{DQ2HD}}====
			Zoom is learned by [[Prince of Cannock]] at level 17, and by [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] at starting level. It can be also used indoors, and can teleport to specific locations on the map instead of just towns.

	Zoom is learned by [[Ashlynn]] and the {{Hero 6}} at Level 8, and by [[Mercury]] at Level 5.

Zoom is learned by [[Ashlynn]] and the {{Hero 6}} at Level 8, and by [[Mercury]] at Level 5. Other characters can learn it by advancing to either rank 3 of the [[Mage]] vocation or rank 4 of the [[Liquid metal slime (vocation)\|Liquid metal slime]] vocation.

	~~In the [[Nintendo~~ DS]] version ~~and subsequent ports, after~~ acquiring [[Ra's Mirror]] the spell can be upgraded by [[Madame Luca Luminista]] to enable warping between worlds.		====''DS version''====
			After acquiring [[Ra's Mirror]] the spell can be upgraded by [[Madame Luca Luminista]] to enable warping between worlds.

	==={{DQ7}}===		==={{DQ7}}===
	Zoom is learned ~~through the same method as in~~ {{VI}}.		Zoom is learned by {{Hero 7}} at Level 8, and at starting level by [[Mervyn]]. Also, it is learned by [[Mage]] vocation at 3 stars.

			==={{DQ7R}}===
			In Reimagined, Zoom is instead learned by default by {{Hero 7}}, and he always has it. It also costs 0 {{MP}} like contemporary releases and can be used to travel to any specific location on the map and also works indoors.

	Zoom is ~~a special ability~~ learned ~~exclusively~~ by ~~the~~ {{Hero 9}} after ~~a plot event~~. ~~Unlike earlier games, it~~ costs no {{MP}} to ~~cast~~.		Zoom is learned by {{Hero 9}} through the story after having returned to The [[Observatory]] and having interacted with [[Yggdrasil]].
			It costs 0 {{MP}} to use.

	==={{DQ10}}===		==={{DQ10}}===
	Zoom ~~can be utilized through special stones~~ called ~~Zoomstones~~. Each Zoomstone can be ~~set~~ to ~~a single~~ location ~~at a time, either by interacting with special waypoint crystals (usually located outside points of interest, such as caves) or by speaking to a [[priest]] inside of a [[church]]~~, and can ~~have their~~ locations ~~overwritten as many times~~ as the player ~~chooses. The player can receive more Zoomstones by progressing~~ through the story~~, completing~~ side-quests, ~~and receiving them as special rewards~~. Once a certain point of the story is reached, a quest can be completed to obtain a Mega Zoomstone, which initially allows travel to any of the major locations to each of the five continents of Astoltia. Later, it can be upgraded to ~~include other~~ locations ~~as well~~. ~~There are other methods of Zoom as well, such as an~~ {{~~NPC~~}} ~~that will allow you to~~ Zoom ~~to any previously visited location up to three times a day for a nominal fee~~, and a ~~special Zoom that~~ will ~~warp you to or nearby~~ the ~~location of your next story objective~~.		===={{DQ10\|On}}====
			Zoom isn't present in itself in the game. Instead, the player will use specific items called [[Zoomstone]]s. Each Zoomstone can be assigned to one specific location, and the player can use those stones to warp to those locations.
			More stones are received as the player progresses through the game, through the likes of story progression or side-quests, for example.
			Once a certain point of the story is reached, a quest can be completed to obtain a Mega Zoomstone, which initially allows travel to any of the major locations to each of the five continents of Astoltia.
			Later in the story, the Mega Zoomstone can be upgraded to a Bazoomstone, which lets the player travel to even more locations, and allows for indoors traveling.

			===={{DQ10\|Off}}====
			Like on Online, Zoom isn't present in itself in the game, and the player will receive a [[Zoomstone]].
			However, the player will only receive one [[Zoomstone]], although it can register as many locations as possible. Thus, it functionally works as if the player directly had Zoom.

	==={{DQ11}}===		==={{DQ11}}===
	Zoom is learned ~~through the same method as in~~ {{IX}}. ~~Unlike other {{Main Series}} games~~, ~~you~~ can ~~use Zoom~~ indoors~~. In the {{Definitive Edition}}, trying to do the same in 2D Mode will only result in hitting the ceiling as always~~.		Zoom is learned by {{Hero 11}} through story progression, after the events of [[Hotto]]. Starting from this game, the spell can also be used indoors.

			==={{DQDai}}===
			Zoom is not learned through a magical contract like standard spells. Instead [[Matoriv]] teaches [[Popp]] to cast Zoom by releasing magical energy from his entire body while picturing a destination. In addition to a means of fast travel like in the games, short-range Zooms can also be used for tactical repositioning in battle. [[Dai]] later learns to cast Zoom as well, and "Hero of the North" [[Nova]] can cast it at his introduction. It is also a common spell among Dark King [[Vearn]]'s higher-ranking subordinates.

			If the user casts Zoom while distracted or not thinking of a destination, they will subconsciously travel to a place of emotional significance. This includes [[Popp]] attempting to transport [[Maam]] with Zoom only to worry about her leaving the party and arrive at the forest where they first met, and later a distraught Dai using a blind Zoom and arriving at the place where he first met his father.

			With sufficient practice, this technique can refined into the flight spell [[Levizoom]].
