This card was the first Winged Beast Xyz Monster.
This card's Japanese name is a cross between sylph and undine, which are the names for the nymphs of wind and water respectively in Greek mythology.
This is fitting for this monster, given her feminine appearance and her Type (Winged Beast, for sylph) and Attribute (WATER for undine).
Its TCG name represents a modification and a pun for its initial name and zero, which most likely refers to absolute zero temperature.
This card could also be considered a counterpart to Infernal Flame Vixen:
Both are Rank 4 Xyz Monsters.
Their Attributes are commonly referred to as counterparts to one another.
Both require Type-specific Xyz Materials.
Their ATK and DEF are reversed.
Both are female.
Both have two effects: one which alters their ATKs for the duration of two turns, and another effect.
Interestingly, their effects, like their ATK and DEF, are also reversed (this card's ATK-gaining effect must activate after its previous effect has resolved, while Vixen's ATK-gaining should be activated before its other effect).
In their artworks, both are facing reverse directions to one another; also both artworks contain a noticeable arc, which are also on opposite sides of the artwork. This further indicates a yin-yang relationship between the two.
Although more coincidental, the two are consecutive in alphabetical order in a List of Xyz Monsters. Also, they were released in consecutive sets.
This card has a counterpart, Ice Princess Zereort.

Detaching 1 Xyz Material is a cost.: Ice Beast Zerofyne
This effect does not target.
When the effect of "Ice Beast Zerofyne" resolves, the effects of all face-up cards the opponent controls are negated. If "Enemy Controller" is Chained to the activation of the effect of "Ice Beast Zerofyne" and the control of "Ice Beast Zerofyne" changes, then the "negate the effects of all face-up cards your opponent currently controls" effect resolves normally and the effects of all face-up cards the opponent controls are negated, including "Ice Beast Zerofyne". Furthermore, the "this card gains 300 ATK for each face-up card currently on the field, except this card" effect is also applied, but is immediatly negated and its ATK returns to its original value.: If "Enemy Controller" is Chained to the activation of the effect of "Ice Beast Zerofyne" so that its controller changes, how does its effect resolve?
You can only activate the effect of "Ice Beast Zerofyne" if there is at least 1 card whose effects can be negated. Therefore, if the opponent only controls 1 Normal Monster and there are no face-up Spell or Trap Cards, the effect of "Ice Beast Zerofyne"cannot be activated.: If the only cards the opponent controls are Normal Monsters, can the effect of "Ice Beast Zerofyne" be activated?
When the effect of "Ice Beast Zerofyne" resolves, if that card is not face-up on the field, the "this card gains 300 ATK for each face-up card currently on the field, except this card" effect is not applied, but the "negate the effects of all face-up cards your opponent currently controls" effect is still applied. Also, if after the effect of "Ice Beast Zerofyne" resolves that card stops being face-up on the field, the "negate the effects of all face-up cards your opponent currently controls" effect remains applied.: Before or after the effect of "Ice Beast Zerofyne" resolves, if that card stops being face-up on the field, what happens?
