I'm pretty sure Puss In Boots, originally from 1550 Europe, is completely unrelated to Zorro, which even plays in a colonial region that didn't exist before 1800.

In this case, they're related by being played by the same actor. This incarnation of Puss n Boots was definitely influenced by Antonio Banderas' Zorro
