Well, in real life if something like that happened, yes you should have died.
But since this is a video game, if you survived, then you shouldn't of died.

 

[Cel-Shaded Deku]

If you only had one heart left (of half if you have double defence) then yes, you should have died. N64 games, or any games, don't work the same way as real life.
