Gels are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] They are not to be confused with ChuChus.

The Legend of Zelda

Gels are a common enemy in The Legend of Zelda, though they are often seen after attacking a Zol. When a Zol is attacked with the original Sword, two Gels appear.[2] They are one of the few enemies that can be defeated with the Boomerang, the other being Keese.

Link's Awakening and Oracle of Seasons

Gels appear when Link hits a red Zol with a weak weapon. They do not cause him any damage, but they do slow him down and prevent him from using weapons.

Oracle of Ages

Main article: Color-Changing Gel

While standard Gel appear, just as they were in Link's Awakening and Oracle of Seasons, there are also special Color-Changing Gel. This special variant of the Gel has a way of changing its color to blend in with the background, making it more difficult for Link to spot where they are.

Four Swords

In Four Swords, Zol appear and if Link attacks them with his sword, he'll defeat them with a single hit. However, if he uses a weaker attack, such as hitting them with a Boomerang, they will split into two smaller Gel. Virtually every single weapon in the game will defeat a Gel with a single hit.

The Minish Cap

The sprite of the Gel can be found in the game data of The Minish Cap. However, it is unused in the final release of the game. Like previous incarnations, two Gels appear when a Zol is attacked by Link.[3]

Phantom Hourglass

Gels appear in most of the dungeons in Phantom Hourglass. They do not cause Link any damage, they just slow his movement, making it easier for him to be attacked.
