Gel

Gel first appeared in The Legend of Zelda as a small jelly-like monster. They are smaller versions of Zol that appear when a Zol is defeated. However, in early dungeons plenty of gels exist where a Zol was never present. Gels are all but harmless because of their rather slow movement and lack of attacks. A simple sword slash will take out a gel, but they are easily defeated with nearly any item in game including the boomerang.

In A Link to the Past there is little difference between a gel and zol. There are green, red, and yellow creatures that resemble these creatures. However, zols have lost the ability to split into smaller gels and thus it is unclear if these creatures are actually gels.

In Link's Awakening, the small red gels act very similarly to their Legend of Zelda counterparts. They begin as larger red zols and once they are defeated, will split into two smaller zols. However, these red gels are unable to cause damage, but instead they jump and attach themselves to Link, which will make Link move much slower. Similar incarnations of this type of gel appear in both Oracle of Seasons, and ''Oracle of Ages.
