The Gel is a recurring enemy from The Legend of Zelda series. Almost invariably, the Gel is a weaker form of the Zol, forming when a Zol is attacked. The Zol splits in two, producing a Gel.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] The Legend of Zelda

File:Gel_sprite.gif Gels inhabit various dungeons. They appear as little droplets of jelly, with no apparent face. They move around dungeons in a linear pattern, starting and stopping rather unpredictably. As one of the weakest enemies in the game, they can be killed with the boomerang, and they never drop items. Technically Gels can be said to inhabit any dungeon that Zols do, but they occur on their own fairly frequently. They color coordinate to the dungeon they are in; for example, the Gels in Level 1 are dark turquoise, whereas those in Level 9 are jet black.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

A diagram showing a Zol splitting into two Gels

When a red Zol is attacked with a weaker weapon, it splits into two Gels. The Gels are both red like the parent Zol. They hop towards Link, but rather than do damage, they cling to him, slowing his movements down. Link can shake them off by walking rapidly or swinging his sword.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons

Gels in in the Oracle series are identical to those in Link's Awakening DX.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Gels can be found in numerous temples they jump out of the ground in either small or large amounts and when Link hits them with Link's sword they split into smaller pieces like in the original Zelda.
