'''Zoom''' (ルーラ, Ruura, Ruler), is a recurring spell in the {{DQSeries}} that allows for instantaneous transportation to previously visited locales. The amount of {{MP}} it costs tends to change from game to game, but the functionally remains the same. With one exception, Zoom cannot be used indoors.

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 smartphone 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 smartphone remake.

The Hero can learn it in battle with the use of a [[List of glitches in Dragon Quest III#Companion overload glitch|glitch]], though to use it prevents the spell from being learned in the field.

The Hero learns Zoom after helping Prof. Toilen Trubble with his research in the town of [[Zoomingale]], and this event is required to advance the plot. None of the other party members that can learn the spell are encountered until after this. The spell is used as a plot device at certain events, such as if the Hero marries {{Nera}} or {{Debora}}, and is later used by his daughter to carry him home after rescuing him. This marks the first installment that used a spell as a plot event.

==={{DQ6}}===
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 mtal slime]] vocation.

In the [[Nintendo DS]] Version, after unlocking access to {{Alltrades Abbey 6}}, 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.


==={{DQ8}}===
==={{DQ8}}===
The {{Hero 8}} learns this spell after investing 8 points into his "Courage" skill. It costs 1 MP to cast.
The {{Eight}} learns this spell after investing 8 points into his "Courage" skill. It costs 1 {{MP}} to cast.


==={{DQ9}}===
==={{DQ9}}===
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 Dragon Quest games, you can use Zoom indoors.
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.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
==={{DQTact}}===
Zoom is one of the spells that can be used by the {{Hero Smash}} through his Down special, Command Selection. This costs 8 MP to use, and allows the Hero to quickly fly back to the main platform of the stage, provided he isn't obstructed by a ceiling overhead. Compared to the Hero's up-special attack ([[Woosh]], which can be further charged-up to [[Swoosh]] and [[Kaswoosh]]), Zoom provides a greatly increased vertical-recovery distance and a period of invincibility with a much lower MP cost than Kaswoosh, but has the notable downsides of not damaging opponents, the ascent being followed by a swift and uncontrollable descent with very little horizontal movement, and the inherent unreliability of the Command Selection menu's randomly-chosen options. However, if the Hero is close to the blast line, the chance of Zoom appearing in the command list is tripled.
Zoom can be learned by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Scion of Erdrick]] through his Character Builder and costs 40 {{MP}} to cast. It transports the {{Hero 1}} to the selected space with a range of up to 5 spaces away from his current position. Although it can only be cast one time per battle. Upgrading the spell reduces the amount of {{MP}} it costs to cast.

==={{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]].
 
==={{DQTAoD}}===
Zoom is a technique in which a spellcaster (typically a [[Mage]], [[Sage]] or {{Hero V}}) releases mana from their entire body, surrounding them in a white aura and causing them to fly at high speed towards a location they are familiar with. Aside from being a means of fast travel, short-range Zoom spells can also be used for quick repositioning in combat.
 
A caster with sufficient mastery of Zoom can perform the [[Levizoom]] (JP: ''Toberuura'') technique, which allows slower, fully-controllable flight and does not require calling a spell name.
 
==={{SSB5}}===
Zoom is one of the spells that can be used by the {{Hero Smash}} through his Down special, Command Selection. This costs 8 {{MP}} to use, and allows the Hero to quickly fly back to the main platform of the stage, provided he isn't obstructed by a ceiling overhead. Compared to the {{Hero Smash}}'s up-special attack ([[Woosh]], which can be further charged-up to [[Swoosh]] and [[Kaswoosh]]), Zoom provides a greatly increased vertical-recovery distance and a period of invincibility with a much lower {{MP}} cost than [[Kaswoosh]], but has the notable downsides of not damaging opponents, the ascent being followed by a swift and uncontrollable descent with very little horizontal movement, and the inherent unreliability of the Command Selection menu's randomly-chosen options. However, if the {{Hero Smash}} is close to the blast line, the chance of Zoom appearing in the command list is tripled.
