Steps to Reproduce

• Install Windows 10.
• Install Git for Windows, which also installs Git Bash.
• Install Zsh (e.g. extract https://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/zsh-5.8-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and merge into "C:\Program Files\Git")
• Follow the steps in the Prezto readme: https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto/blob/master/README.md

AFAIK, none of the current maintainers use prezto on windows, so we aren't able to help debug unfortunately. If you do track it down further, we'd welcome either a code fix or docs improvement as appropriate.

Git for windows cannot create symlinks by default. Several scripts under modules/prompt/functions uses symlinks to link file in submodules and git for windows clone those as dummy files, you should replace those dummy files with symlinks (or just copy the scripts) manually
