Quick check that costs nothing: look at the size of your .nup. If it is 25,020,741,061 bytes (23.30 GiB) it is the shorter one. You can also run the builder's read-only check from its tools folder: python nx2/nup.py <file>.nup --verify; on my 23.30 GiB file it flags 3 members that are all zeros, among them /romfs/Tex/CmnTex_Map_Soil_FairyFountain_Floor_D_Nrm.bntx.zs (the fountain's floor). See my comment on #692 for the details and caveats (the 3 files are far smaller than the whole size difference, so more may be missing).

If your file is a different size and --verify is clean, then it is something else and the log you attached is the thing to look at.

Not sure it is the same cause, but the Great Fairy Fountain with everything missing except the water, the flower and the fairies has the same look as #692 / #718, which were traced to an incomplete dump (the 23.3 GB one instead of the 23.8 GB one; one reporter confirmed the full dump fixed it).

Tracked in #1002, follow there. That issue collects every report of invisible or missing objects, walls and effects, and this one is linked from it with its GPU, version and log details. Your symptom matches an incomplete 23.3 GB dump; nup.py --verify shows it (details in the tracker). If it still happens on v2.0.6 (https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/v2.0.6; Update next to Play in the launcher), please add a comment there with your hookshot_log.txt.
