    Context. The first stars might have been fast rotators. This would have important consequences for their radiative, mechanical, and chemical feedback. Aims. We discuss the impact of fast initial rotation on the evolution of massive Population III models and on their nitrogen and oxygen stellar yields. Methods. We explore the evolution of Population III stars with initial masses in the range of 9 M ⊙ ≤ M ini ≤ 120 M ⊙ , starting with an initial rotation on the zero-age main sequence equal to 70% of the critical one. Results. We find that with the physics of rotation considered here, our rapidly rotating Population III stellar models do not follow a homogeneous evolution. They lose very little mass in the case in which mechanical winds are switched on when the surface rotation becomes equal to or larger than the critical velocity. The impact on the ionising flux appears to be modest when compared to moderately rotating models. Fast rotation favours, in models with initial masses above ∼20 M ⊙ , the appearance of a very extended intermediate convective zone around the H-burning shell during the core He-burning phase. This shell has important consequences for the sizes of the He- and CO-cores, and thus impacts the final fate of stars. Moreover, it has a strong impact on nucleosynthesis, boosting the production of primary 14 N. Conclusions. Fast initial rotation significantly impacts the chemical feedback of Population III stars. Observations of extremely metal-poor stars and/or starbursting regions are essential to provide constraints on the properties of the first stars.
