This pivotal battle arguably broke the back of the Ottoman Empire, which was never really a threat to Europe again afterwards. It's overshadowed by the more famous Battle of Vienna which took place on September 11/12, 1683, but Zenta was a death blow in comparison.

Prince Eugene of Savoy, who took part in the Battle of Vienna was the commander of the Hapsburg forces at Zenta and was recognized for his daring and genius as a result of the catastrophic losses he inflicted on the Ottomans.

I think the reason that the Battle of Zenta is "overshadowed" by the Battle of Vienna, is because the latter happened ahead of that and among the land battles in Europe between the Catholics and Saracens, it was in Vienna where the Ottoman advance was totally stopped.

Had it not for the Protestant schism, the Ottoman Empire had long been wiped out in Europe.

Plus the Winged Hussars saved the day at Vienna. It doesn't get any more epic than that.

And, had the Battle of Varna in 1444 gone differently, the Turks may have been suffocated in the crib.
The least departure from Tradition leads to a scorning of every dogma of the Faith.
St. Photios the Great, Encyclical to the Eastern Patriarchs

CANON I: As for all persons who dare to violate the definition of the holy and great Synod convened in Nicaea in the presence of Eusebeia, the consort of the most God-beloved Emperor Constantine, concerning the holy festival of the soterial Pascha, we decree that they be excluded from Communion and be outcasts from the Church if they persist more captiously in objecting to the decisions that have been made as most fitting in regard thereto; and let these things be said with reference to laymen. But if any of the person occupying prominent positions in the Church, such as a Bishop, or a Presbyter, or a Deacon, after the adoption of this definition, should dare to insist upon having his own way, to the perversion of the laity, and to the disturbance of the church, and upon celebrating Pascha along with the Jews, the holy Synod has hence judged that person to be an alien to the Church, on the ground that he has not only become guilty of sin by himself, but has also been the cause of corruption and perversion among the multitude. Accordingly, it not only deposes such persons from the liturgy, but also those who dare to commune with them after their deposition. Moreover, those who have been deposed are to be deprived of the external honor too of which the holy Canon and God's priesthood have partaken.
The Council of Antioch 341, recieved by the Council of Chalcedon
