Zenless Zone Zerofeatures a choice between two protagonists just like other Hoyoverse gacha games, but there’s a unique twist this time around.
The opening of the game lets you choose between two siblings —BelleandWise— so it’s a similar setup to Genshin Impact with Aether and Lumine. Zenless Zone Zero does things differently, though, so the choice isn’t as big as you might think.
Belle vs Wise differences in ZZZ, explained
You shouldchoose whichever of the siblings you like more. Pay particular attention to their designsand especially theirvoice acting, since those are the biggest differences between the two.
Unlike other Hoyoverse games,both Wise and Belle are involvedin the main story from the beginning regardless of who you pick. The sibling that you choose as the main character will be the one you control during exploration segments in between missions, while the other will act in a support role and hang out at your base of operations.
Also, you cannot bring the main character of Zenless Zone Zero into battles.Belle and Wise do not fight. You only control them when you’re exploring the city betweenmissions and activities. you’re able to only bring other units obtained from the gacha system into missions. You can’t explore the city as those agents, either, only as your chosen sibling.
Can you change the main character in Zenless Zone Zero?
There’sno way to change your main characteronce you’ve started Zenless Zone Zero, so choose carefully at the start of the game. Look up trailers and gameplay footage to get a feel for each sibling’s voice acting and animations so you don’t end up picking the wrong one. Remember that they’re not playable in battles, so it’s reallyjust a cosmetic differencefor the exploration sections of the game.
There aremany more exciting charactersthat you’ll meet within the first few hours of your adventure in Zenless Zone Zero anyway, and you’ll be spending most of your time in missionsgrinding out currencies and resourcesregardless of which main character you choose.
