From the official guides

A mummy man. It has great strength, and its attack is strong too.

ゼルダの伝説 取扱説明書 (任天堂, 1986), p. 36, 101Leafy's translation

A mummy man. It has great strength, and its attack is strong too.

ゼルダの伝説1 取扱説明書 (任天堂, 1994), p. 30, 101Leafy's translation

The mummy man. He's got some strange powers, and some pretty powerful attacking force.

The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet (Nintendo of America, 1987), p. 37

Mummy men. Gibdos attack you with a "body crash" without using any weapons. Since a Gibdo does not move quickly, it's not too difficult to dodge his "body crash". However, Gibdo's "body crash" is a powerful one. Be careful not to be attacked.

The Legend of Zelda Tips and Tactics (Tokuma Shoten Publishing for Nintendo of America, 1987), p. 23

Its body slam does heavy damage, but it moves fairly slowly, so the sword and also candle attacks work well.

ゼルダの伝説 (二見書房, 1986), p. 72, 101Leafy's translation

A mummy man who is proud of his great strength. It shuffles around in little steps. When one is carrying bombs or a key you can see them through it, so go after that one. It is pretty strong!

ゼルダの伝説 必勝攻略ガイド (新星出版社, 1986), p. 46, 101Leafy's translation

A mummy man with great strength. Even the Magical Sword cannot beat it in one stab, so be careful not to get caught between two of them.

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. 40, 101Leafy's translation

A mummy man. Its attack is strong, and a plain sword is no match for it.

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. 55, 101Leafy's translation

A creepy mummy man. It comes at you fearing nothing and does big damage with its great strength. It looks silly, but let your guard down and it's scary. Still, if you take care not to touch it, it is easier to beat than you'd think.

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. 53, 101Leafy's translation

An eerie mummy that has settled in the underground labyrinths. It is very strong, and its attacks hit hard too. Be careful not to get caught. It's better not to fight it up close.

ゼルダの伝説 (秋田書店, 1986), p. 51, 101Leafy's translation

A mummy with a lot of life but slow movements. It quite often gives you things like Bombs.

ゼルダの伝説 (双葉社, 1986), p. 19, 101Leafy's translation

It is hardly different from the mummy of ancient Egyptian legend, wrapped round and round in bandages in that familiar style. Its attack is fairly strong, and it is very powerful too.

ケイブンシャの大百科別冊 ゼルダの伝説1 (勁文社, 1994), p. 27, 101Leafy's translation

A mummy that holds up well in both attack and stamina, but its movements are simple. Go after it the same way as a Stalfos.

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. 73, 101Leafy's translation

A mummy. It carries no weapon and goes after Link only by ramming him. The Gibdo does not move very fast, though, so its ramming attack is not hard to dodge.
