wow you throw quite a few out there don't you. well I will give brief answers you can find out much more by doing a little research on-line.
Atlantis, no one really knows it is an ancient story but as of yet no conclusive proof of this place has been found
voltron,fictional character
Zorro, loosely based on some historical figures but the Hollywood version is fiction
curlys gold, fictional story
big foot, while no indisputable proof of this creature has been found it is not totally imposable that a primate species we have yet to discover could live in a very remote region
loch ness monster, again not impossible but the chance of a creature surviving over maybe millions of years in this lock creating generation after generation is pretty slim
abominable snow man, see Bigfoot
machu picci, an ancient city that did certainly exist you should research this one it is fascinating
Zelda, fictional character
lost city of gold, study Inca and Mayan civilizations this one has some basis in fact
Paul Bunyan, inspired by one or more actual people of course 100 ft tall lumberjacks and equally large oxen don't exist
john henry, i don't know
chupacarbra, fictional creature thought to be a fairy tale or story to entertain and tech children originally
hope that helps

i believe Atlantis is based on a true story of another village that during a big earthquake sunk in the mud and it created a lake. the earthquake happend when Plato was a young boy and he heard the story of it and the village had all the things Atlantis had pretty much.
no for voltron
no for zorro
curlys gold is a possibility
Bigfoot is a lie because the guy who made the video on his death bed told the media it was all a hoax
loch ness monster may have been around a really long time ago but i dont believe that it is still around
abominal snowman is probably based on a insane guy that was covered in snow
Zelda is a videogame
machu piccu real
lost city of gold not sure
paul bunyan is a tall tale and if it was based on a real person the person was probably 7 feet tall
John Henry again probably based on a real person but exagerated alot
chupracabra is probably real but again the eye whittnesses probably saw a really ugly animal and assumed it was chupracabra

mostly no
something like zorro and the snowman could be based on actual people or things built up by legend
machu piccu is real
the rest are stories

i believe zorro is a fictional hero... zelda is a video game character... and machu piccu is really a city, while the others are not false, but aren't true either. most people don't believe in them, but others do... we'll never know. idk who voltron is...
