It's somewhat common to use fe80::1 as link-local address to provide default gateway functionality to a segment.
So I wanted to configure this on a routers interface as (an additional) link-local address.
Apparently this does not work on Mikrotik / RouterOS (7.13):

1) Neither as native link-local address on an interface:

2) or as VRRP floating IPv6 addresss


Is there any way to achieve this?

I think you should use ULA (Unique Local Address) for this...

No, they serve a different purpose. ULAs are routable addresses and thus cannot be the same for multiple segments, like link-locals can.
I have plenty global unicast addresses. But I explicitly want to achieve a uniform default gateway address.

Actually that IPv6 address is only used to find the MAC address of the segment router, nothing more.
IPv6 ND is used to determine which MAC address to send any non-local traffic to. So having a link-local address serve this purpose makes sense.

There was a similar question on Reddit a while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/ipv6/comments/ ... _mikrotik/

This approach is e.g. used by the Hoster Hetzner:
