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 [[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.

===={{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 the {{Hero 3}} at Level 7, and both [[Mage]]s & [[Sage]]s at level 12. This is the first installment that allowed players to choose where they wanted to go with Zoom, setting the standard for future {{Main Series}} games.

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.

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.
Zoom is learned by the Hero at level 14 and by Mages and Sages at level 12. The spell is now capable of being used in-doors without bonking the character's head.  
 
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.

Zoom is learned by the {{Hero 4}} at Level 7, [[Borya]] at Level 9, and {{Maya}} at level 8, and is already known by the {{Psaro 9}} upon joining. Note that the destination list resets after each chapter.

Additionally, an {{NPC}} [[Minidemon]] attempts to use the spell to chase [[Torneko Taloon]] from [[Pharos Beacon]] to [[Porthtrunnel]], but bumps his head, falls and becomes unconscious.

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, after unlocking access to {{Alltrades Abbey 6}}, the spell can be upgraded by [[Madame Luca Luminista]] to enable warping between worlds.

After acquiring [[Ra's Mirror]] the spell can be upgraded by [[Madame Luca Luminista]] to enable warping between worlds.

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.

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.
