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.

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.
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.

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 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.

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.
Zoom is one of the spells that can be used by the [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|Hero]] 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 Smash}} is close to the blast line, the chance of Zoom appearing in the command list is tripled.
