Don't Zen Buddhists take a from of the Bodhisattva vows? The Four Great Vows, I think they are called?

After those, we took as vows the Eight Satoris. The Eight Satoris are the practical vows.

The Bodhisattva are just a ritualistic thing not having the transcendence aspect of 'the savior' of mankind.

Eight Satoris is the last chapter of the Shobogenzo. It was taken form the Parinivana Sutta and is the guideline of all practice.
