It's mostly due to translation differences between Japanese and English! The R and L sounds are often interchangeable in Japanese, so it became Zolo in the English manga for clarity.

4Kids Entertainment initially used 'Zolo' in their English adaptation to avoid trademark issues with other products using 'Zoro.'

As someone who鈥檚 followed both the anime and manga, I can tell you it鈥檚 just a translation quirk! Rest assured, he's the same badass swordsman, whether it's Zoro or Zolo.
