Relates to a player character throwing an item at a character in the field, which triggers combat.

Minecraft lets you throw snowballs at monsters.

Relating to being able to ride creatures in the open world.

Time for every game with horses ever to be sued by Nintendo.

South Park did it years prior and even had yellow snowballs :)

Many RPGs allow you to shoot a bow, or throw a dart, hand axe, rock, and other stuff to initiate combat.

Red Dead Redemption lets you ride horses. So did Ultima, as someone pointed out.
