Sky 3 isn't really an option for me, I don't use my (shitty ancient) laptop for gaming beyond emulating old stuff (which is how I played Sky 1+2), I don't want to have set up an account and payment shit for Steam or whatever for one single game and unless I missed something only the PC version got an English release. Given how much I enjoyed Zero despite not playing 3rd first I think I'm fine anyway, the only thing in Zero that felt like I was missing out on was the reference to Phantasma which I only know of as the setting to 3rd, but that was basically just an example to illustrate Joachim's mind reading, I didn't feel confused by having not played the relevant game. I already knew Renne's backstory beyond what SC tells you from reading about it online and I think Zero makes it pretty clear by the end regardless. If there was anything else it literally didn't even register as noteworthy, or it felt like a background reference (I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of places/people in this series that will never matter as more than background details despite being referenced multiple times) or just something that would be dealt with later (which I imagine fits if people say some stuff 3rd builds to is still just being built to a billion games later).

Watch a video of Star Door 15. That's the big thing you missed from 3rd in terms of plot that relates to Zero. Yes you read it but the emotional punch can only be gotten from seeing it.

I'd maybe watch Star Door 14 too. It's mostly a tease but seems very relevant to the story as a whole.

There is also a door that mostly builds to Cold Steel. Forgot the number, but felt like must-see material for Cold Steel. Not for Crossbell though. If you wanna see it look for the Olivier/Osborne door.

Rest are mostly backstory doors or characterization doors. I e. theres one that shows Kilika's thought process towards becoming a spy, but doesn't really add any new plot info.

I think 3rd is by far the weakest game in the series I have played, but I've noticed I'm the minority opinion.
