Ronaldo has netted eight times in his past five league outings, while he was also on target twice in the 3-1 Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain.
His latest goal came as Madrid came out on top 5-3 in a LaLiga classic away to Real Betis on Sunday.
But, despite Madrid still being a point adrift of third-place Valencia, Zidane said his talisman needs a breather.
“I don’t know how many years in a row he has played 60 or 70 games, but he doesn’t stop,” Zidane said at a news conference.
“There comes a moment when it is necessary for him, for the team, for everything, for him to not play. He is better this way.”
