I never really took the challenge as far as restart points, because I try to NEVER die. I'm talking the challenge of getting killed period. Sometimes I get this feeling of panic that makes me want to solve stuff faster. It never ruined the experience of a dungeon for me, but when I've got like half a heart, I know I better get moving so I can at least get some more hearts. The overworld has almost never made me have that kind of rush. I actually enjoy that rush, so don't take it the wrong way. I love a dungeon too, and the time it takes to solve puzzles is good fun, but I don't linger longer than I need because, for obvious reasons, I just FEEL unwelcome there (a testement to good game design right there).
Anyway, the money making method I used, when I wanted money, was to kill that crow that steals your stuff (if you are slow enough to ever actually be hit by it :D) using arrows, arrows being VERY easy to get just by running Epona through a few grass piles.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
