Because Samus' Power Suit covers her entire body, Zero Suit Samus and the general concept of a suitless Samus are frequently used as a reminder to the player that although Samus is stoic due to her tragic upbringing, she is still a human woman capable of emoting — a trope taken to great lengths in ''Other M''. This rings especially true in ''Super Smash Bros.'': in gameplay, Samus' face and voice are only used while she wears her Zero Suit Samus, yet while wearing her Power Suit, her face and voice are only noticeable in cutscenes and promotional material.

Although Varia Suit remains as Samus' most iconic attire, the Zero Suit has nevertheless become very popular and somewhat synonymous with Samus, largely thanks to her appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' giving both fans and non-fans of ''Metroid'' a widespread look at the human woman being underneath the mysterious armor. As such, the Zero Suit has appeared as a bonus costume in non-''Metroid'' games, such as ''{{s|wikipedia|Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water}}'' and various installments of the ''{{uv|Monster Hunter}}'' series.

Aside from the Zero Suit itself, Samus has been shown in other types of clothing when outside of her Power Suit, with the most typical attires being revealing sportswear. Two such Casual Outfits (as named by the ''Miitomo'' app), which are seen in certain endings for ''Zero Mission'' and ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Fusion}}'', appear as [[alternate costume]]s for Zero Suit Samus in ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''.
