+1. So my question to you is, how did you get the LL address in the first place? That should give you clues as to what interface you need the ping to go out on. If you are really at a loss and you need to brute force probe, you can write a small bash script to do this for you. Something like

for i in `ip address | grep "^[0-9]" | cut -d ":" -f 2`; do echo "Pinging scope %${i}"; ping6 -c 1 <The_Link_Local_Address>%${i}; done

Cheers
