Description:
The official Download page at https://archlinux.org/download/
has a 404-link in the "VM Images" subsection.

IMO the link can simply be removed, since the sentence leads the user to the correct resource with the second link titled "README".[2]

NB: While looking if this 404 has already been reported, I came across unassigned  FS#78321 .[3] It points out that the link to the bug-tracker for the release ISO (top section of the Download page) still links to flyspray, where the user is re-directed to gitlab (at the top when release project is selected). Perhaps this link can be updated at the same time.

Additional info:
* [1] 404 link: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/arch-boxes/-/jobs/artifacts/master/browse/output?job=build:secure
* [2] Correct link: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/arch-boxes/
* [3] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/78321?project=6

Steps to reproduce:

Check the "VM Images" section at https://archlinux.org/download/
