Even as a child, Zoro was strong enough to defeat most adults. However, there was one person Zoro could not beat - his sensei's daughter, Kuina. After their 2000th fight Zoro challenged her in private for one more match - with real swords. He lost. The two make a promise - that either of them must become the worlds best swordsman. The next day, Kuina died falling down the stairs of her house. Zoro, remembering the promise, decided to fulfil it for both of them and he asked the teacher for Kuina's sword, Wadou Ichimounji. (Sometimes called Ghost.) He started to develop a new fighting style - santoryu (three-swords-style). Before her sudden death, Zoro fought with two swords but after her death, Zoro started using her sword as well, clenched in his mouth.
Zoro originally was a bounty hunter, with ambitions of becoming the greatest swordsman in the world. However a
moment of kindness landed Zoro in trouble with Helmeppo, the wimpy son of the Marine captain Axe-Hand Morgan. Zoro joined Monkey D. Luffy's
crew after being saved from execution by the Marines, and is now one of
Luffy's "Straw Hat pirates". Holding on to his dream of becoming the
greatest swordsman in the world he only joined Luffy to accomplish that
goal, though Luffy doesn't mind - on the contrary, he only sees it
natural that the greatest swordsman and the greatest pirate are on the
same
crew.

To go right along with his legendary swords themselves, Zoro ranks high above average than the ordinary human - without ever eating a devilfruit. He has abnormal speed and lifting capacity, as demonstrated when he perfoms his various manuevers (such as lifting a huge section of a destroyed building). He also has an abnormal amount of stamina, able to withstand massive blood loss and prolonged battles as well as huge amounts of alcohol.
