EXP Zero

EXP Zero (EXPゼロ, EXP Zero), dubbed as Zero EXP in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, is an ability which appears in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. It prevents the player from gaining EXP for as long as it is equipped.

This ability allows the player to complete the game without gaining EXP, and therefore staying at level 1, resulting in a more challenging play-through.
