What is scoped address zone in IPv6?

1

I was watching the Golang net library, until I found the IPAddr type which is exactly:

type IPAddr struct {
        IP   IP
        Zone string // IPv6 scoped addressing zone
}

What caught my attention is this "Zone", which refers to the "IPv6 scoped addressing zone".

What would this be and what is the purpose?
