=== Manga ===
A manga adaptation of the series by Kazuhisa Kondo was released by [[Kodansha]] in [[Comic BomBom]] from March 1985 to February 1986 issues, and compiled into three volumes.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}} A manga remake was also made entitled {{nihongo|'''''Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Define'''''|機動戦士Ζガンダム Define|Kidō Senshi Zēta Gandamu Define}}. This remake was written and illustrated by [[Hiroyuki Kitazume]] and began serialiation in ''[[Gundam Ace]]'' on June 25, 2011.

=== Compilation films ===<!-- This section is linked from [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]] and [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation]] -->
In celebration of Gundam's 25th anniversary (and also the 20th anniversary of ''Zeta Gundam''), the 50-episode series was compiled into a film trilogy called ''Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation''.  According to Tomino, the films were created to fix some of the problems he identified in the television series and to bring it into a 21st-century context for a new generation now experiencing the increasingly [[commercialization|commercialized]] series, such as ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED]]''.  The first film, ''Heirs to the Stars'', opened on May 28, 2005, followed by ''Lovers'' on October 29, 2005, and ''Love is the Pulse of the Stars'' on March 6, 2006.

The compilations digitally remastered the television series of ''Zeta Gundam'' with new footage. Around 33% of "''Heir to the Stars''" was newly animated footage, with 70% for "''Lovers''" and almost 80% for "''Love is the Pulse of the Stars''".  However, several major plot events from the TV series were either edited or removed to allow the films to flow more smoothly, unlike Tomino's previous Gundam film compilations. Likewise, the fate of some characters in the television version was entirely changed, notably Kamille's — in the original, his final battle renders him into a vegetative state, while he remains physically and mentally fit by the end of the film trilogy.  In addition, mobile suits belonging to the Gundam timeline, but designed after the television broadcast of ''Zeta Gundam'', were also placed into the films.

Shigeaki Saegusa's musical score from the TV series was reused for the films, with the addition of new songs by Japanese singer-songwriter [[Gackt]]. A music video for the first film's opening theme "[[Metamorphoze]]" featured Gackt singing inside a mobile suit cockpit during battle.

The majority of the original TV voice cast returned to reprise their respective roles. [[Yō Inoue]], who died in 2003 - was posthumously credited, as an archived recording of her voice was used for a cameo appearance of Sayla Mass in the third film. There were some changes to the voice cast - namely [[Yukana]] replacing [[Saeko Shimazu]] as Four Murasame, [[Satomi Arai]] replacing Miyuki Matsuoka as Fa Yuiry and a few others. This change sparked controversy among fans, who suspected that Yukana used her relationship with sound director Sadayoshi Fujino to land her role.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-08-24/seiyuu-change-enrages-fans|title=Seiyuu Change Enrages Fans|date=24 August 2008|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|access-date=20 October 2016|archive-date=19 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919225910/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-08-24/seiyuu-change-enrages-fans|url-status=live}}</ref> The films were a box office success in Japan.<ref name="auto6"/>

''[[Kidō Senshi Z-Gundam: Hot Scramble]]'' followed in 1986. the first ''Gundam'' video game for home consoles, Hot Scramble featured first-person and side-scrolling stages.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://stopgame.ru/blogs/topic/102585/obzor_retro_igr_last_shooting_mobile_suit_z_gundam_hot_scramble_i_hot_scramble_final |title=Обзор ретро игр: Last Shooting, Mobile Suit Z Gundam, Hot scramble и Hot scramble Final |access-date=2024-01-21 |archive-date=2024-02-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240224101139/https://stopgame.ru/blogs/topic/102585/obzor_retro_igr_last_shooting_mobile_suit_z_gundam_hot_scramble_i_hot_scramble_final |url-status=live }}</ref> this would be followed by a 3D-fighting game, ''Mobile Suit Z Gundam'', for the Sony PlayStation in 1997.
