When do you get better weapons?
I've found that as I've progressed in the game, the weapons found in chests and on enemies are getting better. Better types, but also better stats. Even the enemies in the starting area are now getting better weapons. (The enemies are stronger too.)
What part of my progression exactly causes the weapons to get better? Is it playtime? How many Divine Beasts you've taken care of? The number of shrines completed, perhaps?
Best Answer
The weapons that drop are directly related to the strength of the enemy that dropped/was protecting them. Stronger enemies such as silver moblins will drop better quality weapons than their red counterparts. (You can see this yourself by killing a red level enemy, the drops will always be weak).
Now as for why you are seeing better weapons even in the starting area is that the strength of the enemies is starting to scale up. According to the strategy guide, the game keeps a hidden counter of the number of each type of enemy you've killed. The more moblins you kill for example, the stronger the moblins that will replace them after blood moons will be. If you choose to avoid a certain type of enemy completely such as Lynels, you will notice that you will almost never run into a silver Lynel.

Answer 2
I read somewhere that it has to do with how many divine beasts you've beaten. For each divine beast, you unlock the next level of enemies. I haven't gotten to master mode yet but from what I understand it's the same case, just starts you off at 1 or 2 levels higher.
Answer 3
I'm not 100% sure but from my own experience, I could tell a few times when the game upgraded better weapons and stronger enemies. They mostly happened to me at the completion of Main Quests, for example:
Escaping the great plateau
Receiving the master sword (thats a big one)
Freeing divine beasts & more.
