Though zsh doesn't do split+glob upon parameter expansion, it still does empty removal, so that's still one reason you want to quote variables there, so:
print -rl -- "$var[@]"
Or
print -rl -- "${(@})var}"
Those @ are to get Bourne "$@"-like behaviour.
For elements 1 to 5:
print -rl -- "${(@)var[1,5]}"
The ksh-like variant will also work:
print -rl -- "${(@)var:0:5}"
