I purchased a NZXT Zero case and when I detached the front face to mount my
optical drive the reset switch wire pulled free from the solder. How can I
determine the wire order to resolder it back on? There are no visible
markings on the switch and I can't find any info on their site.

On a side note... what happens if I just leave the entire reset switch
disconnected from the motherboard?

Two wires, yes? It doesn't matter which wire is connected
to what terminal of the button. If the reset button remains
unconnected, you can still force a reboot by interrupting
line power.

Thanks... that's what I was hoping... I may just pull the reset switch wires
out of the case entirely and totally skip having that button. As long as my
Gigabyte motherboard doesn't complain that a switch is not connected...

Bryce is correct to explain that it won't matter which wire is soldered to
each connection, as are you in completely disconnnecting the leads to the
mb. However, it may be worth your effort to do the resoldering just so you
have the easy option of using the reset switch to easily reboot when
necessary.
