Every single direction given to Zoro by anyone gets puzzled his mind and he
gets lost in the end. He gets lost even when someone simply tells him to go
straight.

At the end of the Dressrosa arc, Zoro was even mocked by Trafalgar D. Law for
getting lost when going a short distance away. So, Law was forced to move him
with his ROOM ability. Zoro himself looked very embarrassed at that time when
Law mocked him.

Why is Zoro's sense of direction so poor to the point of being ridiculous? Is
there an in-universe explanation?

Why does Zoro always forget his sense of direction?


There is no in-universe explanation. This is just a character trait that Oda
gave Zoro for ... some reason. Maybe there's an explanation in SBS.

Can't say if it's canon or not, but in one of the video games, there was a
conversation between Zoro and Nami where Zoro said that he uses clouds as
landmarks.

In the beginning of the show, they showed kid Zoro using his sense of
direction, so it must have been something like hitting his head as a kid or
being hung on a cross by some marine captain for a few days.

Zoro's lack of directional sense could possibly be a result of the cursed
sword that he wields: [Sandai
Kitetsu](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Sandai_Kitetsu).

Although Zoro was able to prove that his luck was capable of warding off the
curse, by gambling his arm, it's likely that whatever impact that the swords
curse brings upon him is most likely partial active and comedic (although it
could be more sinister and be connected to his sealed eyes).
