Redot Version 4.3

Issue Description
When trying to follow the first 2D game tutorial, there is a section for acquiring the game assets, the links for these assets are not working and both edge and chrome resolve to a page containing "not found". I have tried this on multiple computers, a phone, and two public Wi-Fi networks. This problem occurs for both the GDScript, and C# option.

This is the problematic documentation page.
https://docs.redotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/first_2d_game/01.project_setup

This is the page in the documentation repository
https://github.com/Redot-Engine/redot-docs/blob/master/getting_started/first_2d_game/01.project_setup.rst

Possible Solution
The Documentation Repository the link tries to access is github.com/redot-engine/redot-docs-project-starters. In attempting to find 'redot-docs-project-starters' I could not, perhaps this needs to be forked over.

A proper solution in keeping with the Godot fork would be to fork the below repository to the Redot project and update the links.
Until this occurs the documentation will be incomplete, a dirty fix would be to update the links to reference the download from the Godot repository. |

The Required Repository
https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs-project-starters

This repository contains the assets for the tutorials.

After checking the documentation files, it appears the Redot documentation is attempting to pull the assets from the Godot repository, but something is changing the URL requested after it is clicked.

 Download `dodge_the_creeps_2d_assets.zip <https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs-project-starters/releases/download/latest-4.x/dodge_the_creeps_2d_assets.zip>`_.
    The archive contains the images and sounds you'll be using
    to make the game. Extract the archive and move the ``art/``
    and ``fonts/`` directories to your project's directory.```

Nothing is changing the link, the live website appears to be out of date from the repo itself, and has invalid links due to mass Search and Replace of Godot to Redot.

Link in the repo : https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs-project-starters/releases/download/latest-4.x/dodge_the_creeps_2d_assets.zip
Correct link, works for downloading the files

Link on the website itself: https://github.com/redot-engine/redot-docs-project-starters/releases/download/latest-4.x/dodge_the_creeps_2d_assets.zip
Invalid link
