Gel: Difference between revisions

'''Gels''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are not to be confused with [[ChuChu]]s.

Gels are a common enemy in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', though they are often seen after attacking a [[Zol]]. When a Zol is attacked with the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|original Sword]], two Gels appear.{{Ref|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150722213853/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/g.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]|Gels are the teeming offspring released by injured Zols.}} They are one of the few enemies that can be defeated with the [[Boomerang]], the other being [[Keese]].

While standard Gel appear, just as they were in ''Link's Awakening'' and ''Oracle of Seasons'', there are also special [[Color-Changing Gel]]. This special variant of the Gel has a way of changing its color to blend in with the background, making it more difficult for Link to spot where they are.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', Zol appear and if Link attacks them with his sword, he'll defeat them with a single hit. However, if he uses a weaker attack, such as hitting them with a [[Boomerang]], they will split into two smaller Gel. Virtually every single weapon in the game will defeat a Gel with a single hit.

The sprite of the Gel can be found in the game data of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. However, it is unused in the final release of ''The Minish Cap''. Like previous incarnations, two Gels appear when a Zol is attacked by Link.{{Ref|[https://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_The_Minish_Cap#Unused_Enemies The Cutting Room Floor]}}

Gels appear in most of the dungeons in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. They do not cause Link any damage, they just slow his movement, making it easier for him to be attacked.
