==Appearances==
==''The Legend of Zelda''==
===The Legend of Zelda===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', Zols are common enemies, first appearing in [[Level 3: The Manji]]. When attacked with the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|first sword]], or any weapon with the same strength, it splits into two [[Gel]]s. Otherwise, it is defeated.{{Ref|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150722213853/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/z.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]|Zols pop out of the ground to surprise and attack their prey. If they are hit by an enemy, they split into miniature versions of themselves called Gels.}}

===A Link to the Past===
==''A Link to the Past''==
[[File:Zol-Red-1.png|left]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Zols first appear while [[Link]] is making his way through the [[Swamp Palace (A Link to the Past)|Swamp Palace]]. First coming in red form, Zols appear from underground when Link walks nearby. These slimy creatures slowly creep toward Link, occasionally jumping in his direction.

===Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages===
==''Link's Awakening'', ''Oracle of Seasons'', and ''Oracle of Ages''==
There are two forms of Zols, red and green. Red Zols are more powerful. With a weak weapon, a single hit causes one to break into two [[Gel]]s. If Link comes into contact with these, they do not damage him, but they slow him down and leave him unable to use any weapons. Green Zols only take one hit, but they can take Link by surprise. When Link walks across certain areas of the floor, green Zols come out of hiding and attack, though they are easy to defeat.

===Four Swords===
==''Four Swords''==
Zol are small red blobs that appear. Link can use his sword or also his [[Pegasus Boots]] to defeat these enemies with a single hit. If Link uses a weaker weapon, such as a [[Boomerang]], the Zols will be split into smaller [[Gel]]s.


===Four Swords Adventures===
==''Four Swords Adventures''==
{{main|Blue Zol}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', a [[Blue Zol]] variant appears. These are very simple enemies that are defeated with a single slash from Link's [[Sword]] or a ranged item, such as a [[Boomerang]]. When Link uses the [[Quake Medallion]], enemies on screen will be transformed into Blue Zol.


===The Minish Cap===
==''The Minish Cap''==
The sprite of the Zol can be found in the game data of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. However, it is unused in the final release of ''The Minish Cap''. Like previous incarnations, the Zol splits into two Gels when Link attacks it.{{Ref|[http://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_The_Minish_Cap#Unused_Enemies The Cutting Room Floor]}}
