The Canada international was unveiled by Zulte today wearing the official club shirt.
The loan deal is for one-season but the Belgium outfit have the option to make the transfer permanent for €2.5m.
The 24-year-old joined Besiktas amid high expectations from Orlando City in January 2018 but struggled to make an impact scoring just a single goal in the league last term.
Larin scored four times and provided two assists in 22 appearances for the Black-Whites in all competitions since making his move.
Besiktas have parted ways with several players this summer as part of efforts towards further reducing their wage bill.
The Black-Whites have slashed their wage budget over the past few seasons and have made £27m profit over the past two seasons.
Besiktas have however, yet to make a single signing since appointing former Basaksehir manager Abdullah Avci as head coach.
