Edward Ullendorff menyatakan bahwa Zara Yaqob "tidak diragukan lagi adalah penguasa terbesar Ethiopia semenjak masa Ezana, selama masa kejayaan Aksum, dan tidak ada penerus-penerusnya – kecuali Menelik II dan Haile Selassie – yang dapat dibandingkan dengannya."[2]

The beginning of what Getachew Haile believes is the "Ṭomarä Tesbe't" states that he was crowned on 26 Sené (20 June), while a contemporary Stephanite writer ascribes a date of 25 Sené (19 June). Getachew Haile explains this discrepancy by suggesting that the ceremony lasted two days.
