Broken: version: 2.93.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-03-17 23:14, hash: blender/blender@30b5fd1a3c
Worked: unknown, but does currently even not work using 2.83.9.

Short description of error
When clicking on Help followed by Tutorials on the top main menus a link to https://www.blender.org/tutorials is opened in the browser with an error 404.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
[Please describe the exact steps needed to reproduce the issue]
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]
Start Blender and click Help then Tutorials in the dialog box.

Note: a potentially correct link is https://www.blender.org/support/tutorials/. Maybe the simplest way to solve the problem is to implement an appropriate redirect on the website.

I checked a January archive page, which used to redirect to appropriate site. http:*web.archive.org/web/20210126181616/https:*www.blender.org/tutorials
So this seems to be a effect of the recent Incident. So changing tags.

I’ll also submit a patch update the topbar.py script in Blender to point to the correct url.
