How did this force you to restart? Drown yourself until you're dead and it spawns you at the beginning of the dungeon. Here's my story of being forced to restart a Zelda game: The original gray cart run of Link's Awakening had a trick where if you mashed Select to bring up the map during a screen transition you would end up on the new screen in your old position - that is, it would essentially "launch" you across the screen. If the tile you ended up on was normally a wall you could just walk into the screen edge again (repeating the trick if necessary) and zip past all kinds of puzzles and poo poo. Another side effect was using it in caves - caves aren't arranged in the game data based on location on the map, so you could warp through cave walls (if the cave was big enough for a screen transition) and pop up in a cave halfway across the overworld for an easy shortcut. One day, I was exploring the game world this way when I landed in the cave holding the Lens of Truth, the end of the trading game in Link's Awakening. Excited, I grabbed it and saved my game....immediately before realizing that because the cave was only one screen, I couldn't warp out of it, and because I hadn't actually completed the trading game yet, it didn't have an exit to leave. I had to completely restart, which was painful since I was very near the end.
