This is the only game in the entire Megaman series that has Zero as the star instead of X. There were just 4 games made for the Game Boy Advance and this was one was kept short. The time of this would be about 100 years after the Maverick wars and Megaman is right now gone. Zero gets brought into the picture to help save the world but yet has lost some of his memory over the years. The main villain in this series would be introduced later as Dr. Weil. There is no connection that this game is Dr. Wily whatsoever. Consider the fact that Wily was probably presumed dead in the X Series and died of natural causes. It's some other guy that could have either been a descendant of Wily's or just some plain nut case that has aspirations to take over the world.

I think for this approach it's going to be different than the previous articles, as it will tell more about the entire series itself. Humans and reploids haven't been able to trust each other fully just yet. Introductions to new characters that could serve as helpers for Zero are Ciel, who is a scientist and a human. She grows to care for Zero and does get concerned for him. In the beginning, Neo Arcadia was under the rule of what was assumed to be Megaman X at 1st but then as time went was revealed to be a copy of him. What really happened to X was that he became a cyber elf after a long battle in the cyber wars, which happened sometime after the Maverick Wars and Zero was not there at all. He had 4 protectors such as Harpuia, Leviathan, Phantom, and Fefnir. After Neo Arcadia is taken care of and Copy X has been beaten or presumed dead, Zero now is the savior and thought of as the one that can restore the peace between the Reploids and humans.

This is the 2nd shortest Megaman series with Legends being the 1st with 2 games.
