Instructions
- As Adult Link, go to the bridge in the Lost Woods that connects Hyrule Field and Kokiri Forest (the one that Saria gives you the Fairy Ocarina on).
- Take out the Longshot and look over the side of the bridge; there's a ladder on one side.
- Use the Longshot on the ladder.
Result
You'll be pulled over onto the ladder. You're now in the Lost Woods with no music playing. You can even go all the way into the Sacred Forest Meadow and there will still be no music. Music will resume playing if you go anywhere other than the Lost Woods or Sacred Forest Meadow, even a grotto.
Explanation
The explanation for this is simple; the game developers didn't want the Lost Woods music to play when you're on the bridge, so when you enter the Lost Woods from Hyrule Field or the (ground-level exit in) Kokiri Forest, the map loads with a flag set to suppress the music. Longshotting off of the bridge doesn't unset the flag.
In OoT 3D
Going through the first log (into the area with Skull Kid's stump) will start the music. However, entering and exiting a grotto will cause it to go silent again.
