In Zero to Hero there is a sense of transformation. Hercules is changing, the key being, he is changing for himself. This transformation is to better himself and better the people around him. Before Zero to Hero, Hercules was not who he wanted to be, but he found a way to change that. The lyrics describe the transformation of Hercules, being a major theme of this film. From the start “Hercules” is a story of transformation. When Zero to Hero is sang his transformation is directly called out. Hercules is becoming the person he always knew he could be, a hero. There is a long process to his journey of change, and this song is one chapter. The song ends and he continues to transform, but now changing on the inside. Zero to Hero was a set up for the big dive into the underworld where we see his true transformation. It is a beautiful journey to watch, and to sing along with.
