As a costume

Zero is the basis for a paid downloadable content costume for Mii Swordfighters. Nintendo also released a QR code for those who wish to have the exact Mii used in the costume's advertising.

Origin

Along with X, Zero was one of the first robots to have complete free will and thinking capabilities of a human, known as Reploids. It was revealed in Mega Man X4 that he was created by Dr. Wily to destroy the original Mega Man and was once consider a Maverick by Sigma when he was the leader of the Maverick Hunters. He was created around the same time as X, but was designed for evil, and his violent nature caused Dr. Wily to seal him in a capsule. Many years later in the twenty-second century, Sigma and his Maverick Hunter unit found Dr. Wily's lab with a destructive Zero inside. Sigma managed to defeat Zero in an one-on-one battle but this also released a Maverick virus from Zero that also made Sigma turn Maverick as well. On the other hand, Zero recovered from the virus and joined the Maverick Hunters. He and X are good friends and ranks high among hunters.
