It's legitimate. It's just tracking if you click on it.

Agreed. It appears to be redirecting you to the URL presented in the text, which seems honest.

Don't know which email app you're using, but you might be able to view the original email by clicking on the three dots at the top right, and selecting View Original, if the option is there. This will show you the plain text contents of the email without formatting, and sometimes can reveal additional information that might help you determine whether the email is malicious or not.
