you start at Level one in the cave, and when you leave it's reset to what it was before.
The cave is more or less the part of the game for those who can't get enough of it after playing through the main story. If you beat the game on New Game+ you can even start an Ancient Cave only game and choose even characters you usually couldn't take into the Cave to accompany you.
I beat it once. On a emulator.
but I've tried several times to beat it with my regular SNES version. It has 99 Levels of randomly generated content. If you're out of luck you won't even find a blue chest in one run, or the item in it won't be of any use.
And since the enemies don't respawn you should beat every enemy on every level of the goddamn dungeon just to be on the safe side. And even then that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be strong enough for the later levels.
So I suggest you save the cave until you've finished the main game.
But Gades' Sword is definitely nice to have for that Dungeon, because it makes the first levels a breeze.
