The guy above pretty much explained it all but there are a couple of things I would like to bring up. If you are just starting Zed, maxing E first may be better to get used to him. I say this because it is easier to do more damage with his E while ulting rather than Q when starting with him. I'd also recommend Bloodthirster above Blade of the Ruined King as Zed has ridiculous AD scalings as well as his W passive which amplifies AD. It's your choice, but I recommend BT over BotRK.
