Would larger British carrier aircraft change the Zero?

What would the Zero look like if British carriers operated large twin-engine aircraft?

It could remain broadly similar if Japan retained its single-seat fighter requirements; the larger British change could be a multi-role twin-engine airframe shared across missions.

The Zero's design was strongly influenced by Japanese experience of air combat in China and by Japanese requirements. If Japan retained the single-seat fighter approach, a British move towards larger carrier aircraft would not necessarily produce a very different Zero. The alternative British concept is a twin-engine airframe able to serve as a fast heavy fighter, torpedo bomber, bomber, and reconnaissance aircraft. It might offer only a seventy-five to eighty percent solution in each role, but nearly the entire embarked group could then be available for a particular mission. That flexibility is compared with dividing the air group into several small sets of specialists. The same desire to make more aircraft available for each task underlay the Swordfish's torpedo-spotter-reconnaissance requirement.
