A ghost that lives in the graveyard. Some are there from the start, and others appear when Link touches a gravestone. Its attack is about as strong as an Armos's.

ゼルダの伝説 取扱説明書 (任天堂, 1986), p. 29, 101Leafy's translation

A ghost that lives in the graveyard. Some are there from the start, and others appear when Link touches a gravestone. Its attack is about as strong as an Armos's.

ゼルダの伝説1 取扱説明書 (任天堂, 1994), p. 23, 101Leafy's translation

The ghost who lives in the graveyard. There are two types. There are Ghinis who are there from the beginning of the game, and those who appear when Link touches the gravestones. Ghinis have about the same attacking force as Armos.

The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet (Nintendo of America, 1987), p. 30

These are the ghosts that inhabit the cemetery. There are two kinds of Ghinis, the ones that are in the cemetery from the beginning and the ones that come out if Link touches a tombstone. Their offensive power is as strong as Armos. There is always one Ghini in each area of the cemetery. You can't beat the Ghinis that come out of the tombstones. But, you can plot the total destruction of Ghinis by beating the Ghini that was in the area from the beginning. It is still best not to touch the tombstones.

The Legend of Zelda Tips and Tactics (Tokuma Shoten Publishing for Nintendo of America, 1987), p. 19

The great ghost boss guarding the mysterious graveyard. Touching a grave it guards brings out Ghini copies. The copies cannot be hurt, so it is safest not to touch the graves carelessly.

ゼルダの伝説 (二見書房, 1986), p. 70, 101Leafy's translation

A ghost in the graveyard. It just drifts around, but if you mess with it, it chases you. Touch a gravestone and they come out one after another. Except for the one that was there from the start, stabbing them with the sword does nothing.

ゼルダの伝説 必勝攻略ガイド (新星出版社, 1986), p. 6, 101Leafy's translation

Ghosts that live in the graveyard. Only the first ghost that appears can be defeated. The ghosts that appear when you touch a gravestone cannot be killed.

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. 9, 101Leafy's translation

The keeper of the graveyard. Some come out of gravestones, but only the boss can be defeated.

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. 10, 101Leafy's translation

First beat the boss Ghini. If a Clock appears, you're in luck. While it lasts, touch the gravestones one after another and all the frozen Ghini line up.

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. 47, 101Leafy's translation

A ghost that lives in the graveyard. Some are there from the start and some come out when you touch a gravestone. Beat the first kind and all of the second kind vanish. They drift around the graveyard.

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. 49, 101Leafy's translation

A ghost that lives in the graveyard. There are two kinds: ones that are there from the start, and ones that appear when you touch a gravestone. Never touch a gravestone from below, or you will take damage.

ゼルダの伝説 (秋田書店, 1986), p. 26, 101Leafy's translation

A ghost that haunts the graveyard. The one there from the start is the real one. When you touch a gravestone, copies come out, several even from the same stone.

ゼルダの伝説 (双葉社, 1986), p. 17, 101Leafy's translation

Ghosts that haunt the graveyard. Some are there from the start, and some sleep under the graves. A sleeping Ghini wakes up and attacks when you touch its gravestone. It is about as tough as an Armos.

ケイブンシャの大百科別冊 ゼルダの伝説1 (勁文社, 1994), p. 20, 101Leafy's translation

A monster that haunts the graveyard. Touch the gravestones and more and more of them appear, but if you beat the one that was there from the start, the others vanish too. A high-level enemy with a lot of stamina, but it carries plenty of items. Call out a lot of them, then beat the leader.

ゼルダブック (ファミコン必勝本 1986年6月号付録) (JICC出版局, 1986), p. 71, 101Leafy's translation

A ghost that lives in the graveyard. There are two kinds of Ghini: the ones in the graveyard from the start and the ones that come out when Link touches a gravestone. They hit a little hard, about the same as an Armos.
