What does linking my Xbox live account to my EpicGames account do? - Close-up Photo of Ledger's List

I recently started playing Fortnite on the PC and XBox one. I have 2 separate accounts for the games, but bought the battle pass for the Xbox one. The PC and XBox one accounts use different email addresses.

When I log into my PC account, I have an option to "Link XBox account". When I try to link my accounts I get this message:

Your Xbox Live account has already been associated with another Epic Games account.

I am confused as to what XBox live account it is trying to get connected to, as I believe it is using the same email address. When I log into my xbox account, there is no option to link a PC account.

I have the option of unlinking my XBox account, and trying to connect it with my PC account.

Are there any downsides to this? If I have my accounts connected can I use the Battlepass on PC/Xbox? Or should I just leave the accounts separate?
