They actually behaved like that in the original Legend of Zelda, dropping you off at the start of the dungeon... which was a just as bad as them killing you, since they usually appeared in the room immediately before the boss.

I hadn't been thinking about Dead Hand at the time that I wrote this, but yeah, that's pretty similar. I think I was imagining the Buried Alive enemy from a Pokemon creepypasta.
