Doesn't SLAAC give the link-local address?

    No. SLAAC is where you listen for a router advertisement and generate an address based on that. Link local addresses don't need RAs.

    Huh. I searched around for a bit, and there are some articles that call link-local address assignment SLAAC with no mention of global address SLAAC. Wikipedia in particular does this, and it seems maybe they're calling the global address configuration NDP? I don't care either way, I was just confused seeing some articles saying that, and some saying what you're saying.
