zypper install has a --no-recommends mode.

...
The following 4 packages are going to be upgraded:
libgcc_s1 libgcrypt20 libncurses6 libstdc++6
4 packages to upgrade, 332 new.
Overall download size: 406.0 MiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation, additional 1.4 GiB will be used.

The following 356 NEW packages are going to be installed:

The following 7 packages are going to be upgraded:
libgcc_s1 libgcrypt20 libncurses6 libopenssl1_0_0 libstdc++6 openssl openssl-1_0_0
7 packages to upgrade, 332 new.
Overall download size: 407.9 MiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation, additional 1.4 GiB will be used.
