The guts of a game engine don't require any libraries at all. Using licensed offerings like havok for physics, etc., I don't think the language-specific part you might write (bindings, etc.) is a meaningful part of integrating the offering, and since they're licensed it's not as if you could just add them willy nilly in C++. You could argue that you'd want a language-specific library for some Steam SDK stuff, but AFAIK both Odin and Zig do have bindings for at least some important parts of these, and even if they didn't I don't think FFI is really that big of a problem in either language.
If you use Odin everything you need in order to create a game engine is shipped with it via the standard library (`math:linalg`, etc.) and vendor libraries (`vendor:{OpenGL,directx/direct3d11,directx/direct3d12,wgpu}`, etc.). If you really do want to use libraries `raylib` is also included, as well as SDL.
