is there any way to "convert" rom files to use them in the wii's virtual console, instead of buying every single game all over again?

No, dosent have to be modded. You just need twilight princess to do the twilight hack and an SD card to load the wad loader and wad files from.

Theres a lot of you tube videos out there on how to do this, Ill put it in a nutshell for you:

Use at your own risk this does install homebrew stuff on your Wii
Download the Twilight save hack from
here
Go to this page to use the version of the hack with the version of Zelda found on the actual disc itself, theres a little chart for you
Place this on your SD card in /private/wii/title/RZDE/data.bin
Download the Homebrew Channel Installer
here
Name the ELF file "boot.elf" and place it in the root of your sd card
Download WAD Manager from http://skhsarki.extra.hu/files/download/...an11_Anorch.zip
and save the boot.elf, meta,pic in /apps/wadmanager on SD CARD
create a folder called "wad" in the root of the SD card
Place all your wad files in there, be careful not too many because you have a limited amount of memory on your wii, do like 5 at a time

Now eject the memory card
Copy over the save file to ur Wii memory
Run the game, and go talk to the guy or walk backwards and the hack should load....And you will be brought to a screen, follow the directions on that
now you will have the HOMBREW CHANNEL INSTALLED!!Go to that and run the WAD MANAGER now you can copy ur VC games over!! even emulator channels!!

I hope i got everything, and i hope this helps
