Canon
RESIDENT EVIL 7: BIOHAZARD

Ethan arrives at the plantation following a message sent to him by his wife, Mia. Zoe first manages to get in contact with him by telephone, following a struggle between him and Mia in the guest house. Upon answering, Zoe tells him, “You really shouldn’t have come here.” Ethan questions what’s going on when Zoe informs him of her name and that there should be a way out through the attic, hanging up the phone before Ethan can get anymore words in. Before Ethan can escape, he’s caught by her father, Jack. Whilst Ethan was unconscious, Zoe reattaches his severed hand which had been removed in a scuffle with Mia and gave him a Genome Codex to monitor his health.

After Ethan had escaped Jack and the rest of the family at the dinner table, Zoe contacts him via telephone again to provide him with information about the house and hints on where to go, not before telling him, “You did good, Ethan.” Once she hangs up, Ethan comments to himself, “Hell of a girl.”

After a fight with Jack, Ethan makes for the main house where Zoe calls Ethan again, asking him if her father gave him a hard time. Ethan is stunned to learn that Jack is her father. Zoe is impressed that Ethan managed to live through that, where she tells him, “You just might be able to pull this off.” She tells him to find a way out of the house and that she’ll “be in touch.” With that, she hangs up.

After Ethan escapes from the main house on the plantation, apparently killing Jack in the process, he finds Zoe’s trailer. As Ethan looks around, he can pick up a bra and comment, “maybe it’s Zoe’s.” As Ethan is about to leave the trailer, he is once again contacted by her, surprised that he’s made it “this far,” as Ethan is only one who has. Zoe asks him to search the old house for the recipe to a serum which would cure Mia and herself of the infection plaguing them from leaving, all the while warning him of her mother, Marguerite.

Fanon
Zothan is a rare pair, fan works are difficult to come by as there’s little to nothing of it. Ethan is most often shipped with Zoe’s older brother, Lucas Baker or Chris Redfield. On AO3, Zothan has one work in its tag.
