Zoom: Difference between revisions

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 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.

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 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.

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.

Using the spell or [[chimaera wing]] will [[Day-night cycle|reset the time]] to day.

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.

==={{DQ3HD}}===

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.

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.

The {{Hero 5}} 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 5}} 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.

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.

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.

Zoom is learned by {{Hero 9}} through the story after having returned to The [[Observatory]] and having interacted with [[Yggdrasil]].
