The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero is a 2010 role-playing video game developed by Nihon Falcom. The game is the fourth installment of the Trails series, itself a part of the larger The Legend of Heroes series, and follows Trails in the Sky the 3rd (2007). Trails from Zero and its 2011 sequel, Trails to Azure, form the Crossbell arc of the series. The game takes place in Crossbell, a city-state located between two great powers fighting for control over it, and follows Lloyd Bannings and his colleagues Elie MacDowell, Randy Orlando, and Tio Plato. The four form the Special Support Section, a newly formed department of the Crossbell police.
