You must have played Twilight Princess at least once in order for this to work not the whole game just to the 1st save
Copy the 'private' directory from this archive to your SD card, overwriting any existing Zelda saves or previous versions of the hack. Find whatever homebrew you wish to run, copy it to the root of the SD card, and rename it to:
boot.dol or boot.elf.
Then, insert the SD card into your Wii, delete the existing Zelda savefile using the data mangement screen. Switch to the SD view, locate the right version of the hack for yourregion, and copy it over to your Wii.
If you have the USA version of the game, you must performan additional step; please see below. Launch the game.Select the Twilight Hack savegame, and load it. Once inside the game, walk backwards. Sit back and enjoy.
Since there are two released versions of Twilight Princess for the USA region, these users must first check the version of their game disc. Take your Zelda disc, flip it over so that the data side is facing you, and look for a small line of text next to the inner edge of the disc, between the raised circle of plastic and the data area. If the text reads "RVL-RZDE-0A-0", you have a v0 game and you should select the TwilightHack0 savegame. If the text reads "RVL-RZDE-0A-2", you have a v2 game and you should select the TwiilghtHack2 savegame. If you do not select the correct version of the save, the game will freeze andthe hack will not work.

Home Brew Channel
Install the Homebrew Channel (HBC) for this im just gonna paste an edited readme
After installing theTwilight Hack savegame, format an SD card (as FAT16; must be <=2GB, non-SDHC)
and place the contents of this distribution in the root directory of that card.
Boot.elf must be in the root directory, and you must have a directory named
"apps" inside the root directory (You can delete the wiiload files from the
SD card, as they are not needed.)
Execute the Twilight Hack, and it will load and run boot.elf from the SD card.
You will be presented with a disclaimer screen about the dangers of installing
this hack (discussed here as well, below); follow the instructions. After this
process has completed, you should have a new Homebrew Channel in your System
Menu. You may safely delete the boot.elf file from the SD card; it is no
longer needed.
