It is already balanced.

Explanation:

What I always do first when balancing chemical equations is calculating the number of atoms for each element :

Zinc (Zn), we have $1$ on the LHS, and $1$ on the RHS.
Copper (Cu), we have $1$ on the LHS, and $1$ on the RHS.
Sulphur (S), we have $1$ on the LHS, and $1$ on the RHS.
Oxygen (O), we have $4$ on the LHS, and $4$ on the RHS.
