Zack's brown, knee-high sandals also bear the vague design of his original black, knee-high boots, and he wears black socks underneath them. Small parts of his outfit have had swirls added to them and his physique is slightly different, likely to fit more with the style of Olympus Coliseum. Finally, Zack carries his original SOLDIER sword as a weapon. The SOLDIER's logo is seen both in his sword and in his brown guard, just above the belts.

==Personality==
Zack's personality can somewhat be compared to Ventus's. He is happy, cheerful, and good at making new friends, and he quickly befriends Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Hercules, and Phil. He is also shown to be a good sport, seen once Phil chooses to train Hercules, and again when he is defeated by Aqua. Zack does have his fair share of patience and seems to take disappointment rather well, dismissing it as "lousy luck". An example of this would be when Phil picked Herc over him. Zack's biggest ambition is to become a hero, much like his ''Final Fantasy'' self, and it proves to be his primary motivator. He can be very persistent and earnest, chasing Phil around town, and he relentlessly pursues his dream of becoming a hero, so much so that Phil nicknames him "Captain Eager".

Zack looking up to Terra as a hero mirrors how he looks up to Sephiroth in ''Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-''. Zack's line when asking Aqua on a date is the same he says to Aerith in ''Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-''.

Zack also played a minor role in ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete'', encouraging Cloud from the afterlife during his battle with Sephiroth. Cloud's memories of Zack appear throughout the film, as Cloud still has lingering feelings of guilt regarding his death. He is seen again at the end of the movie in the church in the slums of Midgar together with Aerith.

==Trivia==
*Zack asks Aqua out on a date with the line "Hey, how about one date?", which is the same quote he uses to ask [[Aerith]] in ''Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-''.
*During the credits sequence, Zack leans against the door at the Coliseum just as he does at the end of ''{{ff|Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children}}'' (and ''{{ff|Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete}}'').
*Zack's theme in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', ''A Date With Fate'', is an upbeat and brass-heavy version of ''Successor'', from ''Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-''.
*Although Zack's first official appearance was in the North American, PAL, and International versions of ''Final Fantasy VII'', the Reports in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' list his origin as ''Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-''.
*Zack's journal entry states he looks up to Terra as a hero, mirroring how he looks up to Sephiroth as a hero in ''Crisis Core: -Final Fantasy VII-''.
*Coincidentally, Zack's friendship with Hercules mirrors a situation that the latter was in through an episode of ''Disney's Hercules: The Animated Series''. In the episode, Hercules becomes friends with a teenager named "Zack" who helps him stand up against bullies at school, later revealed to him to be his father [[Zeus]] in disguise.
