Copy the following content to /etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf
# Reflector configuration file for the systemd service.
#
# Empty lines and lines beginning with "#" are ignored. All other lines should
# contain valid reflector command-line arguments. The lines are parsed with
# Python's shlex modules so standard shell syntax should work. All arguments are
# collected into a single argument list.
#
# See "reflector --help" for details.
# Recommended Options
# Set the output path where the mirrorlist will be saved (--save).
--save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# Select the transfer protocol (--protocol).
--protocol https
# Select the country (--country).
# Consult the list of available countries with "reflector --list-countries" and
# select the countries nearest to you or the ones that you trust. For example:
# --country France,Germany
--country Brazil,Argentina,Colombia,Paraguay,Uruguay,Chile,Ecuador,Mexico,Bolivia,Portugal,Poland,us
# Use only the most recently synchronized mirrors (--latest).
--fastest 10
# Use the latest ones
--latest 10
# Sort the mirrors by synchronization time (--sort).
--sort rate
After that you can simply enable the service and the timer
sudo systemctl enable reflector.timer reflector.service
On /etc/default/grub
Edit the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add splash after quiet, like so:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet splash mem_sleep_default=deep ..."

HOOKS=(base udev plymouth autodetect modconf kms block filesystems resume encrypt keyboard fsck)
After that you can simply run:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and
sudo mkinitcpio -p linux-zen
