Aha, save states.
Normally they're quite stable, but sometimes they can really mess a game up. You really shouldn't rely on save states to keep track of your overall game progress (even if they were 100% perfect, you still can't switch between HLE and LLE audio, nor can you switch between Dolphin certain revisions). You're better off using Dolphin's emulated memory card (i.e. saving in-game like you would on a real GameCube). See if you can save to your game normally, then load the game normally as well.
If that doesn't work, are you using the NTSC-U version of the game? I might be able to start a new file and do a quick playthrough for you (at least until the Forest Temple, maybe the boss too) as a memory card save. If that's the case, what would you like "Link" to be named? :p
