1. “My swords are heavier”- Zoro at Arlong Park talking about Wado Ichimonji and random swords
2. “This Sword is heavier than rest... it has a temper”- Zoro at Thriller Bark
As seen from line 1 and 2, most would infer that Zoro means heaviness in a metaphoric sense regarding Zoro having bigger dreams and ambitions resting on his swords than the likes of Hachi at the time. And I believe that’s true.
Someone’s dreams/will to achieve their dreams do in fact cause the swords to be “heavier” but I don’t think it stays purely a metaphor since we’ve seen will manifest as Haki and we’ve seen Haki turn swords black via Color of Armament.
Consequently when Zoro says Shusui is “heavier” he means it the same way he also called his own swords “heavier”, Zoro could literally feel the Will of Ryuuma from the sword and it made the sword “heavy”.
Therefore, Zoro could feel his swords and Shusui are heavy because of the will behind them.

This quote is succinct with Zoro's growth as a swordsman. At the beginning, his aim was to become the best Swordsman for his own self interests, and while he still does now, what drives him is twofold. His original ambition, and the desire to become strong enough to protect things that are dear to him. Wano is sort of the apex to that development. Zoro is driven with the single minded goal of freeing Wano from the invaders that plague it. Particularly Kaido. He isn't doing it on behalf of someone like Luffy, he's not doing it to test his skills, it's a resolve he's developed from his time in the country and bonding with the people who've been exploited due to their lack of strength to make a change. His intentions are the purest among those on the roof.
