Excerpt from the Zoro OP novel, Volume 1. I dont know how accurate the translation is since I dont kshdjs know Japanese, but you can read the rest of it here. Personally, I had to stop halfway through my reading because it made me sick in the head.

Because how can you tell me that Zoro’s fearsome reputation so quickly spread to Kuina as well. We hear in the manga that he wants to be strong, to make her proud, to achieve their dream- but this is like. Waaah, it makes me cry like a baby. Because in his search for their dream he’s already turned her into a local legend. He made her into a God. What is it with Zoro and gods? What if YOU wanted to be a fighter class character, but GOD said ‘No. Paladin class be upon ye.’
