Zell, a master of close-combat fighting skills, uses kicks and punches to defeat his enemies. Zell also has a great passion for the hot dogs that are sold in Balamb Garden's cafeteria.
Never one to cause problems to others, Zell's abundant energy, wild temper and reactionary style sometimes gets him into trouble.
People in his hometown of Balamb view him as a "Comic-bookish" type of hero, or a klutzy, poorly behaved person.

Zell's Limit Break: Duel
Relying completely on his powerful fists, Zell has developed a fighting style that's all his own. When his HP drops, Zell goes into high gear and nails his opponents with a powerful custom-made combo.
When the game begins, Zell only knows five basic attacks. Throughout the game, Zell can learn new attacks by locating issues of a magazine called Combat King . Each issue will teach Zell a new move.
Combat King Locations
Combat King 001: In a cell on the first floor of the D-District Prison.
Combat King 002: Defeat Fujin and Raijin in Balamb.
Combat King 003: Get for completing Zell's Love Quest.
Combat King 004: Get from an Esthar Soldier in Esthar.
Combat King 005: Found in Lunatic Pandora during Disc 3.
When the Duel Limit Break is selected, a window appears at the bottom of the screen showing all of the available attacks. To the right is the time limit for the combo. Selecting attacks in a certain order will allow the use of a final attack; the combos required for these attacks are below.
As you enter attacks, the main window will disappear and reappear with a new set of attacks. Typically, there are two or three options in each window.
Initially, this may seem difficult, but after learning the attacks you should have no trouble. You may set Zell's Duel attacks to auto in Zell's Status Screen.
