Different Leaflet / Folium markers for different zoom levels?

Question

I'd like to use, say, a circle or map pin when zoomed out, and for this to change to a polygon / shapefile when zoomed in (specifying the zoom level at which the change occurs).

Can Leaflet do this?

This should get you started, might need some adaption to your usecase:

map.on('zoomend', function() {                        //triggers after zoom event
        if (map.getZoom() <x){                        //where x is the zoom level where the change occurs
                map.removeLayer(yourPolygon);
        }
        else {
                map.addLayer(yourMarker);
        }
    }
);
