Zols are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series. They are gelatinous monsters generally found in dungeons.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] The Legend of Zelda

Zols are color-coordinated with the dungeons they appear in. For example, Zols in the golden colored dungeons are dark brown, and Zols in the green dungeons are forest green. They wander aimlessly in a linear pattern, and are slow moving. If struck with a weak weapon, such as the Wooden Sword or Candle fire, they split into two Gels. A weapon with strength equivalent to or greater than the White Sword destroys a Zol instantly.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

File:Red Zol.gifFile:Gel green.gif Zols come in three different colors: green, yellow, and red. However, they are equal in abilities. They hide under the ground, appearing only as shadows before leaping up to attack. Zols are very weak enemies, able only to jump into Link in an attempt to cause minor damage. They only appear in dungeons and caves. If Link sprinkles Magic Powder on them, they turn into Slimes.

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

There exist two different types of Zols. One splits into two Gels when attacked, while the other does not. Both kinds appear in the monochrome Link's Awakening. In Link's Awakening DX, the Zols that cannot split into Gels are green, whereas those that can are red. Some Zols can even be found in treasure chests, as traps, although this is rare.

[edit] Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons

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

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Green Zols appear rarely in Phantom Hourglass. Instead of causing damage, they will simply slow Link down. Like previous incarnations, larger Zols will split after being attacked.
