This is your most logical explination for this dyer translation. What kind of logic is that ?

Bob was sitting at his desk, couldnt be bothered with translation so named the link skill something tottally different , tottally wrong .........because he wanted to ? I didn't expand on that because it unnecessary and not quite what we were talking about, as it seemed we were focused on the name being a translation or not. But since you insist...

Early on in the game, the link only belonged to Goku and Piccolo. Before the fight with Raditz, those were two were know as the two strongest warriors on Earth, hence the name "Strongest Duo on Earth".

Clearly a name like that sounds much cooler than most possible translations of "歴戦の戦士", so it was decided that fans would be happier with that name. Especially since the name "歴戦の戦士" can technically apply to a lot of characters in the DB universe, yet only applies to Goku and Piccolo. At least, it did at first.

Then Nail and Hit came along, so the name "Strongest Duo on Earth" didn't really fit anymore. So it was changed to something more accurate to "歴戦の戦士".

The link "Over 9000" has a much similar case, the only difference being that that link name has not been changed yet. It most likely will be in the future.
