Twilight princess and skyward sword are out of the question. MAYBE you would be able to play wind waker but your hardware is just way too old.

Uhm i just tested twilight princes out of curiosity and it run at 100% at all times...i really want to know about skyward sword now
Hahahah, no, it won't run 100% all of the time. When you get into the forest, you'll have your first taste of the hell that is Twilight Princess running in Dolphin. And that's just the appetizer, folks, I had trouble running this game at more than 20 FPS in Hyrule Field a long time ago, when the ZTP hack still existed.

For reference, I'm on an ever-so-slightly inferior CPU overclocked really hard.

i just got there and its not that bad o.O its 85% at its worst most of the time its 95%+
To Hyrule Field? With latest build?
I bet he's using "EFB copies to texture" or whatever improper settings for speed
EFB copies to texture > EFB copies to Ram in term of speed but you will have to deal with graphic glitches such as broken map
Zelda TP is one of those very demanding games . 2.67GHz Core 2 Quad is hopeless to run it
Overclock your CPU if you want more speed !

If you want better quality, stability, good sound, etc. Then you should use the very latest builds.
If you want more speed. You'll have to use old builds. However they're more often buggy. And above all unsupported on the forum
Actually, as it turns out, no builds are faster for Twilight Princess than the latest ones plus the current ZTP patch, which can be found almost anywhere Twilight Princess is discussed.
Its really not that bad so far.I can get through hyrule field with low fps since i dont really care about doing the side stuff.Everywhere else run just fine.But what does overclocking my CPU mean anyway? i keep hearing about that.
