I have noticed a lot of confusion so I made this basic guide to do the Zelda Hack. This is for people who want to play backups on 3.3 or 3.4 firmware. enjoy!

1) Connect wii to wi-fi and run system update to 3.4
2) Prepare SD card formatted as FAT32 with the following apps - ciosv7, Zelda hack beta 2, ios downgrader, custom manager 1.3, cios_fix, ios257, and wii gator wads
3.) Put in RETAIL game of Zelda play for like 20 secs until it says it's saving game.
4) Exit zelda and look at the back for the correct verson, is there a 1 or 0?
5) Go into data management and delete the save game you just created
6) Load the beta 2 Zelda hack from SD card in your region
7) Start zelda game again and you'll notice 2 zelda load games. If you are USA, choose load game "0"
8) Once game starts, go talk to the man standing there and it will begin the homebrew install - click the "1" button on your remote to accept it until the wii goes back to the main page
9) Once homebrew is install, click on the channel and go to the custom manager 1.3 and install IOS 257
10) Exit and wii will reboot, go back to homebrew again and choose custom manager 1.3 again and run CIOS_Fix.WAD, then Wii gator.wad, then exit again.
11) Choose IOS downgrader in homebrew and run that (this will take a few minutes- grab a beer)
12) Go back into the homebrew one last time after ios downgrader is done and choose CIOSV7 (has sonic icon) and install this.
13) You're are ready to go on 3.4
14) Insert backup game, and click on wii gator icon to launch game (note if you are running NTSC box and trying to play out of region game, hold in "B", go to config options and FORCE NTSC to on or the pal game will not play)
15) If you are downloading games, I recommend downloading in your region. Example, if you are in the USA, download NTSC games only. This will make it so you don't have to FORCE NTSC on and less chance of a brick.
16) This is the basic steps, let me know if I missed anything. This guide would be for a complete up to date system as of 1/28/2009

I was googling and found this awesome guide. It includes all the files you need. This should make it easy for anyone just getting started for the softmod for the first time. Even has good support:

Sorry to say but I included files in my guide. So don't say this site doesn't do it. It is nice to share info but you could have either asked or at least give the author credit.

I still don't see how that guide is easier then the 1 that I have posted. Seems kinda all jumbled and you have to find all the files yourself.

What I liked was the packed zip. This contained all the IOS files that were needed, apps, etc. If you search on this site, so many people complain they cannot find the ios 257, etc. No offense, yours say google it.

It is simple to find the IOS needed that is not linked (The reason it is not included is because it is Official code and not permitted to be posted in this forum or the other forum I have linked to). But in any case all you have to do is do a search and it is there to download.
