    You do have USB ports, right? You can get this (it's kinda junk) for $1 shipped to your door:

    I'd suggest browsing some local store over DX junk though.

    Ah. Then you need to bug friends. Somebody is certain to have an adapter kicking around, they've been commonly handed out with with old cell phones and such. Plus a second brain while you're trying to figure your way through some guide is always useful.

    As I said do not follow any online guide they are most like to be out of date a defunct and the risk is very very high for mess ups

    http://modmii.zzl.org/ is all you need for the modding part (again do not use online guides [main reason is out of date info resulting in some games not working and manual ios/cios updates that is dangerous if you do not know what you are doing])

    I will first ask what you actually have at the moment in hardware you can use

    An SD card is required so do you have any SD cards kicking around (Micro/mini will do as long as you have a SD adapter for em)
    USB devices the preferable type is a HDD but for now you can use a USB stick

    To get files to the SD card can be done via plenty of ways (micro SD's for example can have files coppied to them if you pop em into a mobile phone or tablet, anything that can take a card and has USB to a PC setting the phone or whatever to use USB to copy files to from the micro SD via USB) [A digital Camera is another example]

    This is only a temp measure as once the thing is modded and you are using a USB HDD you don't need the SD card afterwards

    P.S. this game does require Motion Plus controllers or Motion plus expansion packs

    That's good then

    P.S. if you need further help let me know what you are using, i.e. answer the q's I asked so I know how to advise you on your next steps

    SD card and how to get the files on there (phone tablet camera or any other device that takes the SD & has usb)
    USB device... preferably a USB HDD, formatted fat32 with 32kb clusters

    Once you have the basics via ModMii I will go into details of what other mods can be used, ModMii will guide you just fine though for the main part

    Do you have a camera or other device that uses SD cards/Micro SD cards? a phone or a tablet would work as well.

    I have already mentioned these a number of times.

    Anything you can use to copy the files with to the SD/micro SD.

    I could ask another way... what are the micro SD cards originally from? also do you still have those

    Having a device like a mobile phone that takes micro SD's that can be hooked to PC via USB makes it so you do not need a card reader or SD slot

    Then you have a way to copy the files from your PC to the micro SD with out a SD card reader, the phone will act as a SD card reader

    You can buy an SD card reader to use in your USB port. I paid $5 for one.
    Got a Walmart close...check here
    This is where I found the guide I used.
    http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...utorials-only/

    Just follow the directions, read through the steps a few times before starting. Failure to follow the directions can (unlikely) brick your Wii.
    Heck, if you have an older Wii, you can softmod and just burn the game to disk. Unfortunately they are getting hard to find.
    The Wii is the easiest system to mod...cept the Dreamcast. LOL

    NOTE: If you are planning on playing Zelda Skyward Sword on the Wii, you will need to have a Motion plus controller or adapter.
