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 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.

ゼルダの伝説1 取扱説明書 (任天堂, 1994), p. 28, 101Leafy's translation

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

A big Gel made of two Gels joined together. Hit it the wrong way with a sword or candle and it splits into two Gels. One blow from the White Sword is best.

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

A slime shaped like a daruma doll that bounces around. Stab it with the first sword and it splits into two Gels. It moves slowly. It often carries a heart!

ゼルダの伝説 必勝攻略ガイド (新星出版社, 1986), p. 34, 101Leafy's translation

Two Gels stuck together make a Zol.

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. 32, 101Leafy's translation

A monster like Gel. Cut it and it splits into two Gels. A bit stronger.

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. 42, 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

A jelly-like monster that toddles around the room. Hit it with the ordinary sword and it splits into two. With the White Sword or the Magical Sword it goes down in one hit without splitting.
