Oxidation half equation: ZnS(s) + 2e⁻ → Zn²⁺(aq) + S(s) ...... [1]
Reduction half equation: NO₃⁻(aq) + 4H⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ → NO(g) + 2H₂O(l) ...... [2]

[1]×3 + [2]×2, and cancel 6e⁻ on the both sides :
3ZnS(s) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + 8H⁺(aq) → 3Zn²⁺(aq) + 3S(s) + 2NO(g) + 4H₂O(l)

The element S was oxidized as the oxidation number of S increases from -2 (in ZnS) to 0 (in S).
The element N was reduced as the oxidation number of N decreases from +5 (in NO₃⁻) to +2(in NO).

The reducing agent is oxidized, while the oxidizing agent is reduced.
Hence, the oxidizing agent is NO₃⁻, while the reducing agent is ZnS.
