From the official guides

Jelly monsters that hop around inside the labyrinths. Cutting a Zol splits it into two Gels. A Gel's attack is weak, and a Zol's is twice that, so only somewhat strong.

Jelly-like monsters that walk about bouncing around in the labyrinths. When Link cuts Zol, it splits into two Gels. Gel has little attacking power, but Zol has twice the power of Gel.

The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet (Nintendo of America, 1987), p. 35

These jelly-like monsters roam around in the Underworld mazes. If you cut a Zol in half, each half becomes a Gel. Zol's offensive power is about twice as strong as Gel's. Only Gel appears at the beginning of the game.

The Legend of Zelda Tips and Tactics (Tokuma Shoten Publishing for Nintendo of America, 1987), p. 20

It is weak enough to beat with the boomerang, but its odd way of moving makes it a nuisance. It almost never drops treasure.

ゼルダの伝説 (二見書房, 1986), p. 71, 101Leafy's translation

A small slime. It moves fast, so if you are not paying attention you will take damage.

ゼルダの伝説 必勝攻略ガイド (新星出版社, 1986), p. 22, 101Leafy's translation

A jelly-like monster that hops around.

ファミリーコンピュータ攻略ガイドブック1 ゼルダの伝説 (曙出版, 1986), p. 24, 101Leafy's translation

A jelly-like monster. Its attack is weak, and it is no real threat.

ファミリーコンピュータ必勝シリーズ1 ゼルダの伝説 (ミリオン出版, 1986), p. 30, 101Leafy's translation

Simply put, slime. Cut a Zol with the sword and it splits into two Gels. Zols move slowly and Gels fast. A Zol beaten with the White Sword or a better one leaves an item.

ファミコン マル勝DXシリーズ1 ゼルダの伝説 (角川書店, 1986), p. 50, 101Leafy's translation

A jelly monster that hops around the labyrinths. Watch out: when you cut a Zol, it splits into two Gels that attack you.

ゼルダの伝説 (秋田書店, 1986), p. 50, 101Leafy's translation

They wobble for a while, then suddenly move. Attack a Zol and it becomes two Gels.

ゼルダの伝説 (双葉社, 1986), p. 18, 101Leafy's translation

Truly creepy jelly monsters. They hop around the labyrinths, and cutting a Zol splits it into two Gels. A Gel's attack is weak, but a Zol is twice as strong, so watch out.

ケイブンシャの大百科別冊 ゼルダの伝説1 (勁文社, 1994), p. 22, 101Leafy's translation

What a Zol splits into, though some are like this from the start. It is weak enough to beat with the Boomerang, but it is small and hard to hit. Zols drop Rupees fairly often, but Gels hardly ever do.
