Zol

Zol is an enemy in the Zelda Series frequently featured in 2D titles.

Legend of Zelda

In The Legend of Zelda, Zols are common in beginner dungeons, most prominent in The Eagle. When attacked with the Wooden Sword, or any weapon with the same strength, it splits into two Gels. Otherwise, it is killed.

A Link to the Past

In A Link to the Past, Zols appear in two dungeon: The Ice Palace and Misery Mire. They pop out of the ground when Link approaches them. They are easily defeated using the Hookshot.

Link's Awakening, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons

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 Gels. If Link comes into contact with these, they will not damage him, but they will 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 he walks across certain areas of the floor, green Zols will come out of hiding and attack, though they are easy to defeat.

Skyward Sword

Zols appear in a gelatinous form in Skyward Sword. They appear in three colors: red, blue, and yellow. They will crawl towards Link, trying to ram their body into him. When hit with a sword, they will split into two smaller enemies called Gels. Gels look just like Zols, except they are much smaller in size. Gels are unable to harm you, but attach themselves to you, slowing your movements. If left alone, two smaller Gels will merge together to form another Zol. It is currently unknown whether or not the color of a Zol means anything.
