The not-specific-to-zsh bit:
$ ls -Lld etcetera
The -L says to chase the symlink when given on the command-line. You
then want -d to not list the contents of the directory, only the
directory itself.
The options require vary by command used.
For the zsh "zstat" module-provided builtin, "zstat -L" will give you a
"link" field.
% zstat -L +link etcetera
/etc
