dont forget that zed using energy means he's got a 900 range kiting tool that he can use every 6 seconds, while Olaf has an axe toss that uses mana and requires him to pick up the axe to lower it's cooldown. While Olaf does do well while under low health, Zed has safe exchanges with him that doesn't require as much commitment other than him needing a living shadow for an escape.

Late game however, is when Olaf will beat him. Just have Olaf stack health and defense, and Zed won't be able to beat him down in time, or even at all depending on the situation.

If we're talking about jungle, than Olaf is a more sustainable choice with better build choices, while Zed is faster. Zed might even have a better gank depending on how the situation is.
