No. You won't play without any problem .
Laptops are inadequate for Dolphin whatever model you've got

Just look at Dolphin Benchmark then decide what CPU to get

Hav you a similar doc with Skyward Sword?

One more thing: I have a Pentium Dual Core and a GT220 with 2GB of RAM. If the game goes at 100% speed, how can go with a i5-3337U and a GT740M with 8GB of RAM?

Edit: It's a E5300, so it goes at 2.6Ghz

You should not expect too much from that CPU
2.5GHz is the main problem
i5 2410M is faster than both i5 480M and i5 3337U (notebookcheck benchmark) but due to the lower clock speed , it still can't beat i5 480M (see in Dolphin Benchmark)

Clock speed may not be the most important factor to decide the speed of a CPU but ...
My Pentium E5300 @ 3.4GHz completely wipeout i5 480M @ 2.9GHz in most games (except Xenoblade)
Q : Why only Xenoblade ?
A : I got higher FPS with E5300 @ 3.4GHz but the Framerate wasn't stable (jump between 15 FPS to 42FPS , unplayable due to audio stuttering) , i5 480M @ 2.9GHz FPS : 20-35FPS (more stable , playable )
Btw , 25FPS is full speed for Xenoblade - Pal version

But what I say is if the 3337U will perform better than my E5300. For example, I play Wind Waker and Twilight Princess more or less well (good for me seeing that I played Crysis in a 6200LE at 17fps few years ago). I tried with Skyward Sword and goes at 70%. What I say is if the 3337U is better than my E5300 to know if, with the 3337U, the game will run better. I don't known if I'm explaining that well . The RAM it isn't a problem and the 740M is tree times faster than my GT220.
