This might be a bit odd, but I've made it a bit of a goal of mine to own at least one Switch game beginning with each letter of the alphabet (as well as at least one game beginning with a number), and while I've got 23/26 letters and no number game covered, with 30XX, qomp2/Quiplash, and Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition/Xeodrifter in mind to fill most of the remaining gaps, I'm a bit stumped on if there's anything really worth picking up beginning with Z. Any recommendations?
I've personally played the following, though only the first one on Switch:
Zaccaria Pinball
If the only criteria is that you can have an icon on your home screen, then this is for you since it's free to download. You get a table or two and you have to pay for the rest.
Zombie Panic in Wonderland DX
Compact on-rail shooter originally for WiiWare. I played it on 3DS instead. The visual upgrade for Switch is bit lacking.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol
Fun classic SNES game that you can play with your friend. You also get another inferior game starting with G as a bonus. (Joking of course. I haven't played Ghoul Patrol, it could be even better.)
It's its, not it's.

It's interesting how uncommon they seem to be. I just checked my Switch collection and realised that I don't have a single one despite having over 750 games at this point.
Zombie Night Terror is pretty good. Bit of a shame there's no Eshop sale, when it's 90% off on Steam.
EDIT: I also quite liked Zombie Driver back when it came out on PC. The kind of mindless fun you need every once in a while. Never played it on Switch though.

Thanks for all the responses! I don't know if I'll opt for any of them, particularly as Zarvot also caught my eye - doesn't have the strongest reviews, but it piques my interest more than some of the other games I looked into. Zombie Night Terror is runner-up, though I don't know if I'm particularly interested in it given it's apparently touchscreen only and has a bit of M-rated content that's a bit too out there for my tastes - does at least seem to have good reviews, though.
I have nothing, and I'd say I have a pretty big library (of mostly physical games).
checks Nope. No downloads either.
I have games beginning with every letter of the alphabet except Z.
Honourable mentions:
E (2 games: Everybody 1-2 Switch, Excitebike)
I (3 games: Ion Fury, Ice Climber, I Am Setsuna) [though I want to get rid of Setsuna]
Q (1 game: Quake) [Quake II physical ordered]
V (1 game: Vitamin Connection) [3 more if you count the VS. Arcade Archives games]
"Gee, that's really persuasive. Do you have any actual points to make other than to essentially say 'me Tarzan, physical bad, digital good'?"
@Zuljaras : Ah, forgot about that one. I intended to import a physical copy of that, but ultimately decided against it as it looked far too antiquated even for my 90s tastes, especially when I can already play the likes of classic DOOM and Quake on the same system.
And speaking of DOOM (and with the benefit of hindsight), that seemed to be the first full realisation of the FPS genre while everything that preceded it (including iD's own Wolfenstein 3D/Spear of Destiny) were glorified labyrinth simulators that were otherwise hindered by the technical constraints of the day. The fact that Wolfenstein 3D is yet to be issued a port for modern hardware I think is very telling of how well it stacks up against modern games, while DOOM still holds it own against the best of them nearly 30 years after its release.
